I was told by a plastic surgeon I have severe separation of the abdominal muscles and should seek surgery. Is it possible to fix these muscles without?
Answer: Fixing muscles without surgery Muscles separate after surgery because of two reasons. One is ripping of the fascia. No amount of exercise fixes this. The other reason is inactivity, causing loss of tone of the abdomen.

Answer: Muscle correction without surgery? Thank you for your question. Separation of the abdominal muscles, commonly called a diastasis recti, often requires surgical intervention which can be performed at the time of a tummy tuck. Pregnancy stretches out and often tears the fascia of the abdominal muscles and unfortunately exercise alone is not able to correct this. Abdominal exercises will help to tone the abdomen but surgery is your best bet to correct the separation of your abdominal muscles.

Answer: Muscle correction As stated by previous surgeons, muscle laxity after pregnancy usually requires an abdominoplasty for optimal correction. The procedure addresses not only the muscle laxity, but a tummy tuck also addresses the stretched, damaged skin as well as excessive fat if indicated. However, if the "apparent" muscle laxity is really protrusion from intraabdominal fat, weight loss alone may suffice.Down time is about two weeks and the procedure is performed as an outpatient in the large majority of cases. The surgeon re-shapes the torso, optimizing the curvateous physique.

Answer: 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.

Answer: Muscle separation 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.
