💪 Can You Repair the Abdominal Wall Without a Tummy Tuck? 💫
Short answer — yes. But it’s rare and only right for select patients. At Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kristopher Day performs internal corset repairs — also called re**us muscle plication — for patients who have abdominal muscle separation (re**us diastasis) but don’t have excess skin that would require removal through a tummy tuck. Here’s how it works 👇
🧵 Internal Corset Technique: Dr. Day carefully sutures the separated re**us muscles back together, restoring the internal tension of your core — like tightening an invisible corset beneath the skin.
🎯 Why It’s Rare: Most patients who have muscle separation also have loose skin or stretched tissue from pregnancy or weight changes, which often makes a tummy tuck the more complete option.
⚕️ Who It’s For:
✅ Patients with firm, elastic skin
✅ Minimal stretch marks
✅ Good abdominal tone
✅ Visible “bulge” or weakness but no skin laxity This muscle-only repair restores strength, posture, and contour — without removing skin or creating long scars.
