Can a Tummy Tuck repair stretched muscles that are not separated? Or does it only repair if there is separation?

January 30, 2022

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?
