If my tummy tuck muscle repair failed and I get a revision will I have diastasis precautions for life?

In cases where there is a wide muscle separation and/or thin fascia on the muscle wall, the addition of support with mesh can be helpful. Whether this is appropriate for your situation cannot be determined without an in-person exam.

After a revision of your diastasis repair, you should be given post-op instructions on your activity restrictions. I would expect that you will have a period where you will be unable to do any exercises or workouts while you heal. After your healing period, you should be able to resume exercising as long as there are no other complications of your repair and you have adequate thickness/strength of your abdominal wall. It is important to discuss the post-operative instructions with your surgeon to make sure you have an optimal outcome.
