Full Muscle Repair Without Tummy Tuck Incision?

It is possible to repair the fascia vai a small low transverse scar and from around the umbilicus.  An examination would be needed to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.  

Not only is it possible but in the right patient it can yield and excellent result. Then procedure is called endoscopic abdominoplasty and was invented By Dr. Marco Aurelio Farrea-Correa in 1990 in Brazil. I also developed a technique in this country in 1992 as we were unaware of Dr. Correa's work until 1994. I have performed the procedure on patients who are candidates due to having excellent elasticity of the skin with minimal to no excess fat and an isolated muscle laxity called a diastasis recti. I have also presented the technique at our national meeting in 2001 and again in 2011 as well as overseas. The skin does not "bunch up" and actually it looks quite good. However, the candidate for this procedure is rare so i woud need to see a picture of you standing relaxed from the front to see if you meet the criteria. You can learn more on my website under endoscopic abdominoplasty. Keep in mind that recovery from muscle repair is the common denominator in tummy tuck procedures and not the skin incision. Therefore, endoscopic patients have minimal incisions but the same recovery time is needed so anyone who comes to Birmingham for this will need to stay at least a week. Also you need to wait a full 6 months after delivering because your skin will be contracting optimally that entire time and your muscles may recover more as well.
