Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) with Umbilical Hernia Repair
This 33-year-old, female was unhappy with the appearance of her abdomen after several pregnancies. The separation of the central abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) as well as a hernia at the belly button were very unsightly for her and inhibited exercise. Tightening of the abdominal wall “six-pack” muscles was performed to treat the diastasis and the hernia. The excess skin was removed by performing an abdominoplasty. Her result at 1 year shows an excellent result.
