Case #435

CLASS Tummy Tuck With Support Scaffolding for Severe Muscle Separation

Denver, Colorado | Advanced Rectus Diastasis Repair

This patient chose Dr. Francesco Campanile in Denver, Colorado after multiple pregnancies left her with extreme rectus diastasis—a severe abdominal muscle separation causing core weakness, bulging, and a persistent “pregnant” appearance. To restore her abdomen, Dr. Campanile performed his signature CLASS tummy tuck, enhanced with internal support scaffolding for long-term stability.

Because of the severity of her muscle separation, traditional muscle tightening alone was not enough. Dr. Campanile—one of the few surgeons in the United States trained in this technique—placed an internal scaffold to reinforce the abdominal wall, strengthen the repair, and help prevent future separation. Combined with the CLASS tummy tuck’s advanced contouring, this approach flattens the abdomen, tightens the core, and dramatically reshapes the waistline.

Her after photos show a flatter stomach, restored core support, and a smooth, sculpted midsection—a transformative result made possible by expert rectus diastasis repair.

Patients across Denver and Colorado seek out Dr. Francesco Campanile for complex tummy tuck cases because of his rare expertise in support-scaffold abdominal repair and his 25+ years specializing in breast and body contouring.
