Can yoga make diastasis come back after a full tummy tuck?

Thanks for the question. After 4-6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

 Hello,The majority of patients would be fine doing yoga at that point. However, with a very large diastasis, it may be more likely to widen over time. If you love yoga then that's probably something you should continue to do.All the best, Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

Sorry for your experience, but thanks for the question.In the majority of patients, the abdominal muscle repair is very solid after 6 weeks. Most patients can return to full physical activity, including yoga, without affecting the repair.Having said that, most plastic surgeons have probably encountered a patient or two that stretch their muscles even after a repair or two. It may have something to do with the patient's ability to hold the repair.I can understand your hesitation to return to yoga too quickly, so you might want to hold off for longer than 6 weeks. You might try to wait for 3 months. At that point the repair should be solid. As is customary, follow your plastic surgeon's advice and guidance.At some point, you should be able to return to yoga without risking your repair.Good Luck!
