Is ThermaLipo indicated for diastasis recti on an otherwise thin person? (Photos)

Asked By:Neat8644 in San Jose, CA

My skin is pretty taught and doesn't bother me. However, my stomach does protrude beyond my breasts looking at me from the side angle. If I engage my abdominal muscles, I can get flat. But I'm unable to go around all day focusing on that. Maybe a full abdominoplasty / tummy tuck might be overkill - especially considering the long recovery time. I've had 3 cesareans, and my youngest is 20 mos. I'm looking for a less invasive procedure. Is ThermaLipo meant for someone with very little actual fat?
