Asked By:Reliable352847 in Alberton, Gauteng, South Africa

Hi, I had a muscle repair over 6 months ago from the navel down. Pre surgery it measured at 3.5cm and I went for an ultrasound yesterday and it measured 2cm. Is this an acceptable gap within normal perimeters or did the plastic surgeon mess up? Or could it still be scar tissue between the muscles showing as a 2cm gap?
