Asked By:divinemusing in Richmond, VA

10cm gap between ab muscles. Facia removed during procedure--2-10-16. Full ab reconstruct. (cut bb to pb and side to side to reposition muscles and reinforce repair with 3 strips of mesh). Abdominoplasty followed. Hip to hip incision. New navel. Bottom seems tucked in, maybe even under and always feels clinched, no matter how intentional I am about getting as close to zero spine as I can? Smaller framed and was somewhat proud of my low back arch and bum prior. Side view isn't what I expected. :(
