How many layers of sutures are recommended for an abdominoplasty?

Thank you for your question.
I historically repair the rectus diastasis with a three layer repair. The skin is closed in two to three layers separately.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. There is not formal evidence to suggest the specific number of layers the muscle repair should be done with to provide the best long term results. Most surgeons that I know will do two layers but trust your surgeon to provide a long lasting result if they have a track record of success.
