Repair of male diastasis recti above navel?

August 13, 2016
Asked By:Junigatsu in Atlanta, GA

I am a male with a protruding diastasis recti immediately ABOVE my navel. Can this be repaired laparoscopically? I consulted with a surgeon who recommended a tummy tuck and said this is the only way to fix the diastasis recti. I wasn't planning on getting a TT, but if that lower abdomen incision must be made to fix the DR, I might as well get the TT done too. Thanks
