Can You Fix Tummy Muscles Without Surgery?

It is not possible to fix separation of the tummy muscles without an abdominoplasty.  The muscles once stretched out need to be plicated to achieve the flat abdomen you are looking for.

                  The
abdominal wall undergoes significant changes during pregnancy.  During pregnancy the abdomen expands
and the muscles weaken, stretch, tear and in some cases separate from each
other.

                   In
the vast majority of cases surgery will be necessary to reverse these
changes.  Non-surgical treatments
won’t reverse structural changes which are usually present.  When muscles have been weakened,
occasionally exercise can impact the abdomen by strengthening these muscles,
but in most cases more significant structural changes have occurred.

                   In
your case, it appears that your muscles have separated in the midline.  This condition known as a rectus
diastasis is common following pregnancy and will require surgical correction
during abdominoplasty surgery.  In
this case non-surgical treatments won’t be effective.

                   If
you’re concerned about abdominal wall changes following pregnancy,  consultation
with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate.  This surgeon should be able to
formulate an appropriate treatment plan.

The only way to correct this is with surgery. The procedure involves tightening fascia to bring the muscles together. The surgery isn't necessarily  a tummy tuck.
