Question: 

I have had two pregnancies in three years and now have separated abdominal muscles and an umbilical hernia.  Are these things that can be fixed with a tummy tuck? 

Answer: 

An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck treats excess skin and fat as well as the separation of the abdominal muscles.  At the same time the umbilical hernia can be repaired.  The answer to your question is both of these conditions can be treated with an abdominoplasty.
