175cm, 58kg, thin, 4cm diastasis, minimal skin laxity, 6 months postpartum - is a tummy tuck right for me? (Photos)

Hello,

And thank you for your question. I would definitely recommend to wait at 1 year postpartum to allow for full tissue recoil after childbirth.

Based on the photos, you have very good muscle tone and very minimal skin excess. You may be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck to achieve flat abdominal contour, while limiting the extent of the incision and the scar.

I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options and expectations.

I hope this helps.

Best, Dr. Karanetz

Thanks for your question! I do think you would be a candidate for a full tummy tuck when you are a little further postpartum. My guess is that you do have enough laxity to get the scar nice and low. Good luck!
