Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Gallbladder and diastasis recti issues. Can this prevent me from getting a tummy tuck? Should I do the TT
Two separate issues
Dec 1, 2023
These are two completely different issues that should be addressed separately. And the gallbladder absolutely be addressed first. Hopefully they can fix this laparoscopically. If you end up with a large right upper quadrant abdomen scar from a gallbladder removal, it can affect the ability to do a safe tummy tuck. Once you were well, healed and symptom-free, then I would advise the diastasis repaired with the tummy tuck.
Would liposuction improve the appearance of my excess stomach fat or would I need a tummy tuck? (Ph
I'd recommend an abdominoplasty
Sep 27, 2023
Hi emily58,Based on your photos and background information I think you would be best suited with an abdominoplasty with liposuction. As you mentioned I think you'd end up with excess skin if you did lipo alone. Now, nobody has a crystal ball and can predict the outcome of lipo alone but in my experience after having 2 children and having a BMI of 28 I think you would be better suited with lipo360 and an abdominoplasty. This procedure will address excess core fat(back, flanks, axilla,...
I had a FDL tummy tuck 6 months ago. Is this muscle separation?
Don't be afraid
Sep 27, 2023
Hi ibetwelaugh,
Without seeing you and examining you it is hard to really weigh in on it....but if you have a bulge in the upper abdomen and your surgeon says you likely tore some of the sutures then you likely do have a recurrence of your DR. The good news is since you have a FDL vertical scar it can be opened and the muscles addressed directly instead of going through your horizontal incision and having to dissect all the way up to the upper abdomen. I would not be afraid...meaning if it...
Did my muscle repair fail? 9 months out and look pregnant
It appears so
Sep 26, 2023
Hi BH85,
Based on the 2 photos it does appear you have some abdominal wall laxity....however It is hard to say for sure without examining you and discussing your clinical course. A few questions I would want answered. How did it look initially after your procedure? Did it look flat and has it changed and now it protrudes? Have you been doing a lot of exercises that would put pressure on the repair and gradually cause it to fail? Over what time frame did it start to protrude? Again, hard to...
Is Diastasis Recti Surgery right for me? Had to remove a section of my colon.
Hernia vs Diastasis
Sep 26, 2023
Hi Exuberant928778,
Interesting question. I'll start by saying after having had a midline abdominal incision for colon cancer surgery you likely have a weakness in the form of a ventral hernia. That would be the most common problem. Unfortunately, after midline incisions is is very common to have a weakness/hernia that reveals itself down the road. This is clearly different than a diastasis which is a general laxity of the abdominal wall and not a hernia or hole in the abdominal wall. You...
