Tummy Tuck Mommy of 3 - New York, NY

the question is; do you have a splitting apart of the rectus abdomens muscles due to pregnancy? i was a dancer before i went back to medical school, and had strong abs, but when i asked my PS how much apart i was split, he said about 2.5inches all the way down.i had small babies and did not gain a lot ,nor did i carry high .if you have any split at all, you need full muscle plication for the best result. sometimes one needs a mini tummy tuck. never go with a PS who does not fully explain what he will do and why. then see photos of what he did. you might want to get some education by looking at dr ricardo rodriguez site in maryland, and you can ask him questions online. this site also has doctors who reply to questions.

I am not sure of whether my muscles are separated but I am opting for a full tummy tuck with no muscle repair! He said my and are right enough and I should be okay! He won't really know till he gets in there and I'm still debating whether to do it. However, I have heard that the recovery is easy with no muscle repair cause its just skin! It's really up to you, I would get more opinions if you like! Bit if your muscles are good, you can get a skin only for sure!
