Day before surgery and 2 weeks after
Excellent results from Dr. Collins! The extent of my diastasis was terrible but he was still able to repair my muscles and give me a wonderful result!
Abdominoplasty Muscle Repair 3 Hernias repaired
My surgery was performed March 28, 2016 and went extremely well!! Dr. Brendan Collins truly a miracle worker!!! From the beginning he answered all of my questions, was very honest about my body and possible outcome based on what he was working with, excellent bedside manner! I had a severe case of diastasis in which my gap in rectus muscles or ab muscles was a foot wide which caused my intestines to just hang only supported by skin. This gave my belly a third trimester pregnant look. My belly was huge and I had 3 hernias in addition to that. My before pictures shown are the day before surgery. As you can see, my rectus muscles were over by my obliques! I was in excruciating pain! The surgeon said it was the largest diastasis he had ever seen. I absolutely love my results!!!! Dr. Collins did extensive muscle repair and was able to make my incision very low and I knew going in that my belly button may not be saved and honestly I told him I didn't want the old one. He was able to create a belly button for me even though my stump was not able to be used.

I've chosen Dr. Brendan Collins at Mercy to perform my abdominoplasty with muscle repair. Dr. Swope will be performing the hernia repair as well. I'm nervous and anxious but the women in my support group have given me strength. If they can do it so can I. If you need support even post op, add yourself to the closed Facebook group 'Tummy Tuck Queens The Flatside'. I'm praying for good results. Consultation with him was good but I had more questions so months later his office was able to have a second consultation booked for me. I told him my concern was my diastasis and how wide the gap is, that I pray he can give me a flat stomach with the best outcome for my belly button...not sure if I have enough skin to cut off my old belly button. I will update next week with results.
