I have no fat on my tummy, just excess skin. If I need surgery to repair a diastasis would the doctor add the skin removal for free or can I pay extra for that ? I have had it for 8 m. I'm a physical therapist and it's still 5 cm deep!

Answer: Is repair of diastasis recti covered by insurance From your question, it sounds as though you have a significant diastasis. In general, repair of a diastasis recti is not covered by insurance. But exceptions are sometimes made in extreme circumstances, e.g. if you have a history of pain due to the diastasis, which has not improved with therapy, and which is interfering with activities of daily living. But even if the diastasis repair is covered, you would likely have to pay for the skin removal portion of the surgery. I recommend seeing a board-certified Plastic Surgeon in your area for more information.Best of luck to you!

Answer: Tummy and diastasis by insurance? Hello annaanna123. I find that insurance does not cover diastasis, but does cover hernia repair. You will have to pay for the tummy tuck portion regardless. Best, Dr. ALDO.
