TT/umbilical float

Hi everyone. I have a very severe diastasis recti (especially above the belly button). After years of trying to close it with PT and exercise, I’m thinking of taking the surgical route for DR repair and potential tummy tuck.

I had a couple consultations with plastic surgeons, and one issue that came up is that I don’t have a lot of extra skin. One surgeon said an umbilical float would be best (though he said this could lead to an artificially vertical and lower belly button). Another surgeon said he could do a traditional TT but there’s a chance that it would also require a vertical scar if it turns out there isn’t enough skin.

I’m not sure which route would lead to the best outcome. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
