Case #434

CLASS Tummy Tuck With Internal Support Scaffolding

Denver, Colorado | Advanced Repair for Severe Rectus Diastasis

This patient came to Campanile Plastic Surgery in Denver, Colorado after multiple pregnancies left her with severe rectus diastasis, significant abdominal muscle separation, and a protruding midsection that could not be improved with exercise alone. Because her muscle separation was more extensive than what traditional suturing can reliably correct, she chose Dr. Francesco Campanile’s CLASS tummy tuck, an advanced abdominoplasty technique enhanced with internal support scaffolding.

Dr. Campanile is one of the very few plastic surgeons in the United States who utilizes an internal scaffolding support material for extreme rectus diastasis repairs. This specialized reinforcement provides added strength, stability, and long-term support to the abdominal wall—especially in patients whose muscle separation occurred from carrying large babies or multiple pregnancies.

During her CLASS tummy tuck, Dr. Campanile tightened the abdominal muscles, removed excess skin, sculpted the waist, and placed the internal support scaffold to reinforce the repair and help prevent re-separation. This approach delivers a flatter abdomen, improved core strength, and a more contoured waistline, even in the most challenging cases.

Her post-operative photos show a dramatically flatter stomach, restored muscle tone, and a smooth, refined midsection. She is thrilled with her transformation and finally feels strong and confident in her abdominal area again.

Patients across Denver and throughout Colorado seek out Dr. Francesco Campanile for complex tummy tuck procedures because of his 25+ years of experience, his signature CLASS technique, and his rare expertise in repairing severe rectus diastasis using internal support scaffolding.
