Can liposuction cause diastasis recti?

July 4, 2019
Asked By:Atlanta_BAE in Atlanta, GA

I had bad scar tissue from abdominal liposuction, so my new ABS surgeon said he was going to break up scar tissue with a cannula and fat graft. I didn't have pain before. When I woke up something was wrong, i had extreme burning from my belly button down to my pelvis. It felt like I was stabbed. It's been 7 months and it still burns and hurts and I have this bulge i never had. It looks like I'm pregnant. I think I have diastasis recti, is that even possible? Can a cannula cause diastasis recti?
