Liposuction or cool sculpting is possible but will. It remove the diastasis- that requires deep stitches usually during a tummy tuck.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.
Both laser liposuction and coolsculpting can be used in someone with diastasis. However, the contour improvement will only be related to the superficial or pinchable fat. There will be less flattening of the abdomen due to abdominal bulging; and there will be no effect postively or negatively to the diastasis. In general, if you can pinch it, you can get rid of it. In patients with significant diastasis, a tummy tuck may be preferable for optimizing results. It is important to have a consultation with a body contouring expert who is experienced in non-invasive and invasive techniques to get an accurate assessment of potential results. Patients with significant diastasis sometimes have hernias present and should be evaluated for this; coolsculpting should probably not be performed in a patient with a hernia present.
I agree with Dr Wallach. The diastasis does not stop you from reducing the amount of fat in your tummy subcutaneous space with liposuction or coolsculpt. Liposuction is much more complete, but coolsculpt can help thin areas without surgery. If you want the pooch in your tummy corrected caused by a diastasis, then you need a tummy tuck. Patients who need both tummy thinning and a pooch corrected then I do a tummy tuck and lipo of the tummy at the same time. Discuss all with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
Laser lipo, coolsculpting, or sculpsure will reduce diet resistant fat bulges. However, only tummy tuck surgery will bring the diastasis recti back to the middle.
If you are asking can you have lipo if you also have a diastasis, I will say yes. If you are asking will the lipo improve your diastasis, I will say no.

Laser liposuction involves the use of a subcutaneous laser during liposuction; the laser heats up the fat and skin in the area mainly in order to aid in tightening. The heat created remains in that tissue and has no effect on any other portion of the body. There should be no...
Laser liposuction is an excellent procedure and can be used on all parts of the body. Cost will depend on the type of anesthesia and the amount of areas to be liposuctioned. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
I find that VASER hi definition is the best for the stomach area if you are looking for definition, contour and fat removal. If you have loose hanging skin or a lot of stretch marks, you will need skin removal surgery (tummy tuck). My suggestion is a formal consultation,...
Thank you for your question.I would suggest waiting until you are off the Coumadin completely before going through with an elective surgery. It is one thing if you are having surgery because it is medically necessary, the Coumadin can be managed. If you are having an elective...
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that is planned and is discussed in detail prior to the procedure. The technique isnt as important as the doctor performing the procedure so go to an expert. I find that ultrasound gives much more skin tightening and allows me to transfer fat also...
