During my second pregnancy, my rectus abdominus split and although I have very little stretched skin “left over”, my belly button has sunken. Can a tummy tuck be done to repair just the split muscle?

Because tummy tucks tighten abdominal muscles, your problem may be corrected by the procedure. Usually, patients also choose to remove excess flaccid skin in the area, but it isn’t necessary if you’d like to just target the muscles. Repositioning the belly button can also be performed.

However, it is recommended that you visit our patient consultant so that they can make sure a tummy tuck is appropriate for you. Please call us to book your free consultation.
