Can abdominal fascia laxity be repaired? (photos)

July 1, 2019
Asked By:ChWchester in Nyack, NY

I had hernia and diastasis repair 3 months ago and my stomach looks just as distended, if not worse, than before surgery. PS said it could be that the fascia has come apart, that I have a lot of laxity; I’ve had 2 pregnancies/c sections, and back surgery 4 years ago where they used an anterior approach - so there has been a lot of disruption to the abdomen. Is there any way for my condition to improve? Will I need another surgery?
