Answer: Is it possible to repair an umbilical hernia and I stasis without a tummy tuck? Thank you for your questions and for your photographs.It is certainly possible to repair an umbilical hernia without a full tummy tuck, but generally repair of the muscle separation or diastasis does require an abdominoplasty.From the photos that you have sent you have significant skin laxity above the bellybutton. You also have significant separation of the abdominal muscles. By performing a pinch test your plastic surgeon could guide you as to which type of procedure would be best to accomplish your goals.I have included the link to the different types of tummy tucks that can be performed. I hope that this helps.
