How High Up Torso Does Diastasis Repair and Tummy Tuck Go?

Before my full TT, my ps told me I had a diastasis of 3 fingers apart. After sx, he told me I was sew from my breast bone to my pubic bone, however I only feel the sutures internally from right above my new belly button to right below my TT incision line. My upper torso looks the same as pre-sx w/squishy & some baggy skin above my BB. Should my MR been sewn up higher and should I still have loose skin left over? My ps tells me TT's are a lower abdominal procedure. I'm 5'4", 115 lbs. Need advice.
