Long term benefits of muscle repair?

First it is important to understand that the muscle separation is not something correctable with exercise. It not only creates a flatter abdomen, but a more stable muscle layer.  Since the loose skin and any localized fat can also not be corrected with exercise and diet, you should not feel guilty about a tummy tuck to look better!

Hello, Muscle repair is purely a cosmetic thing. Just like a tummy tuck. You should figure out why you're having a problem with that concept. Maybe cosmetic surgery is not for you.Best of luck! 

 Hi and thanks for your question. Muscle repair is an Intercal part of a tummy tuck operation. It is performed primarily to create a flatter abdomen. There are other indications for a tummy tuck which usually includes excess skin and fat. I would suggest that you see a very experienced  surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and preferably a member of the American Society for a Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. That's my best advice after 30 years performing aesthetic plastic surgery. Best of luck!
