My personal trainer told me I do not have abdominal separation but after two pregnancies my stomach is not the same. If I relax and don't consciously hold in my stomach my measurements at my belly button is 40", versus 35" if I contract my muscles. I also have a lot of the usual mom issues -bladder control and bloating, pelvic floor weakness, lower back issues. Will a tummy tuck help? Can hernia repair be done simultaneously?

Answer: 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. This will also correct the hernia. However, if you are having issues with bladder control and pelvic floor weakness then I recommend you consult with a urologist to have those issues corrected first before undergoing a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck can make those issues worse.
