Oblique Repair for Abdominal Bulge After Diastasis Repair?

May 27, 2009
Asked By:iseley in Great Britain

Will oblique repair be beneficial for someone who has had rectus muscle diastasis repaired, but still has a protruberant abdomen? I would really appreciate some expert knowledge as I seem to be hitting a brick wall. A second surgeon has confirmed that the repair of my rectus muscle is intact and very tight, but says that it is likely that my obliques have also been a large part of my problem. Does anyone know of a surgeon that could help me?
