How common is it for a tummy tuck to bulge or come undone due to severe diastasis recti?

Asked By:denvermom37 in Denver, Colorado

I have a severe diastasis recti and possible umbilical hernia from having 3 children. I’ve seen women online have bulges and distended stomachs months after their tummy tuck procedure and often it is because of a hernia or muscle weakness. Is this common for tummy tucks to come undone and bulge when the patient has had severe diastasis recti and a hernia? I want to this to heal my condition and wonder what my chances are of it failing.
