I see in most situations muscle repair is recommended. I have had a child and have gained/lost weight. But I feel like I don't want the muscle repair. I feel like the removal of the skin alone would be enough for me to be happy with my looks. I get that the muscles are separated, but they are separated now also if I do not get a tummy tuck. Also I see doctors saying that it won't get perfectly flat, but I am also far from perfectly flat now, without a tuck. How bad are we talking?

Answer: Severity of abdominal muscle separation It depends on the extent of your abdominal muscle separation. If it is significant, then your mid-section can bulge to the point where skin tightening and fat removal alone will not make enough of an improvement. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an assessment to determine whether your goals can be met with a tummy tuck without muscle repair.
