Answer: Internal corset for tummy tuck The internal corset is just a tightening of the abdominal wall muscles which is typically done with a full tummy tuck surgery. The rectus abdominus muscles which run from the ribs to the pelvis are often spread apart after pregnancy or significant weight gain. The internal corset or rectus plication is when the edges of the two abdominal muscles are brought back into the midline and sutured into place. There is no need to use any type of additional reinforcing material to make the plication effective. (No pig skin needed).

Answer: Tummy tuck This is a normal part of any tummy tuck where we tighten the abdominal muscles to give a better configuration to the abdomen. It flattens the stomach. No pigskin is used.

Answer: The Internal Corset a procedure to narron the waist - and avoid belly button scars The ‘Internal Corset’ – a procedure to narrow the waistThe permanent sutures that are used to flatten and tighten the abdominal wall are typically placed in the midline. The rectus abdominis muscles, prior to pregnancy, are lined up immediately side-by-side. Expansion of the abdominal wall during pregnancy allows the muscles to stretch apart, leaving a weak layer of fascia (connective tissue) spanning the gap between the two muscles – the medical term for which is diastasis. The midline tightening sutures correct the diastasis and bring the rectus muscles back into a 'side-by-side' configuration, flattening the abdominal wall in the process.Although this midline tightening dramatically enhances the abdominal profile, it often does adequately address the fact that pregnancy can also wreak havoc on the waist, turning what was formerly an 'hourglass' figure into something that is more cylindrical in shape. For several years now I have been using permanent 'internal corset' sutures, placed laterally in the abdominal wall, that draw the waist inward and restore some of the hourglass effect of abdominal concavity at the waistline in frontal view. The addition of these sutures to midline tightening, and in some cases in place of midline tightening, has allowed me to achieve even more impressive postoperative results.Look at many, may before and after photos of tummy tucks, if the waist looks more narrow, the plastic surgeon has mastered making the waist smaller. Always avoid a plastic surgeon who leaves patients with scars around the belly button.
