I'm currently 5'2", 165lbs and have had 3 children via csection. After each baby I've eventually gotten my weight down to 135-145lbs but still have a very large stomach area. My measurements are 36F x 41" x 41" at my current weight, and when I lost weight to 135lbs after baby #2 they were 32DD x 35" x 37". Would a tummy tuck with muscle repair give a good result in my situation?

Answer: Tummy tuck Thank you for your question & photos! Based on your photos, you would be a great candidate for a tummy tuck with lipo 360! Liposuction will remove excess fat with some retraction of skin. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Diastasis recti and umbilical hernia repair with tummy tuck with mesh If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Your abdominal wall has been badly damaged by your 3 pregnancies and c-sections. Simply repairing the fascia by itself is usually not enough. The onlaying mesh will help solve your problem and treat your umbilical hernia.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
