He said my muscles were too far apart and that they must have separated during my pregnancy (after my first c-section). I do recall after that first c-section that he said it was difficult to sew them back together that time due to an ovarian reconstruction in 1999 by another doctor. This time he said he tried to overlap my fascia to make up for it???? Help.

Answer: To repair of not to repair Muscle plication (repair) may be difficult after pregnancy for several reasons. You did not list your BMI but most of the conversations start (and end) with this factor. If you are planning to have another child, I would suggest waiting to have the hernia or diastasis (muscle separation) repaired. If a surgeon makes you "good and tight" now, your abdomen may be too tight to carry an infant to term. When you have your abdominoplasy, the surgeon will do the ultimate repair at that time regardless of your ovarian reconstruction.Good Luck

Answer: Pregnancy is rough on your tummy and if you wish to have another child, you should check with your OB doctor. Once you are done with having children, consider seeing a plastic surgeon about possible procedures to help improve your contours. Improvements can always be made... but perfection is very difficult to achieve.
