Can a 4cm diastasis repair by PT and not surgery?

Asked By:Cinnamonster23 in Atlanta, GA

I consulted a general surgeon who did an u/s and I have a 4cm diastasis. He referred me to a plastic surgeon. Since that appointment, i have consulted 3 plastic surgeons, all encouraging a tummy tuck (quotes ranging from 6k-10k). When I google diastasis repair, I find a lot of sales gimmicks including exercises. Who is telling the truth, can it be repaired NON surgically or is tummy tuck the ONLY way?
