  • Can I get tummy tuck the same time my abdominal hernias and diastasis are repaired

    I have been going to pt and have been told I have a large diastasis and several small hernia’s. Going to pt to strengthen my pelvic floor but I continue to have trouble with bowel movement due to the diastasis. Also I look like I am 8 months pregnant. I am 75 years old. I spoke to a general surgeon who only does laparoscopic surgery on hernia and diastasis but does not do tummy tucks. I did find a plastic surgeon who says he does all at the same time. Is this safe to do? I would like to do all at the same time if I can.

    Dear Nancy.
    Your plastic surgeon should be able to do a fine job for you.
