Most of my separation is at or above the navel and causing me a lot of pain and discomfort. I do not care if I have loose skin so is skin removal necessary? I just want to be pain free and regain strength in my core without having to be cut hip to hip.

Answer: Muscle Separation Repair Without Skin Removal You describe pain associated with upper abdominal muscle separation, and want treatment to end this pain and improve muscle strength. In my experience with muscle separation (diastasis) patients do not typically experience pain, so I would encourage you to see your personal physician to have examination and evaluate the source of the pain. If no cause other than diastasis is found, then repair can be considered. There are a variety of abdominoplasty procedures, including an endocsopic approach with small skin incisions placed at the belly button and upper pubic area. Bringing the muscles together in the midline tends to increase loose skin in the same area, so it is likely that your plastic surgeon will recommend some amount of skin removal as well. This iscertainly worth discussing during your consultation. Best Wishes.
