Can the permanent sutures break 10 years after the abdominalplasty?

August 6, 2024
Asked By:rowlandjl69 in Cleveland, Tennessee

I had an abdominalplasty, radical hysterectomy and they built up my pelvic floor all at the same time. I was 112 lbs, 5'3". Originally it was pulled too tightly and the pelvic floor build was bulky and hung over mambilicus. I left me physically limited. I have had chronic abdominal spasms and trouble walking. Recently, my massage therapist was massaging my abs. She pressed palms downward on my sternum/ ab area and a deep release. The upper abs feel opened to me now.
