Based on skin elasticity, is the likelihood of getting 'a new' bellybutton high on a classic Tummy Tuck? At 40 with two kids, from the photos can you get a sense of whether I have diastasis recti?

Answer: Classic tummy tuck Yes. Any pregnancy will give you rectus diastasis to a certain degree. When you tone your muscles, your abdomen gets flat but when you relax, they go to the sides and the abdomen becomes more round. Seems like your weight is within the normal range and BMI less than 30. You will be a great candidate for a classic tummy tuck.

Answer: Full Abdominoplasty This is the only appropriate surgery for you. You don't get a new bellybutton, although that is possible it is far from necessary. Your belly button will remain, in its same position on your abdomen, but the skin around it will have moved downward, allowing tightening of the entire abdomen. Liposuction would also be appropriate for both the abdomen and the waist and hips. Go to a surgeon will to place your scar VERY LOW.
