Answer: Diastasis recti and breathing issues. Hi... It is unlikely that a diastasis is hurting your breathing. If anything, the diastasis may allow intra-abdominal fats to push out of the abdomen rather than up towards the chest. If you're having breathing difficulties, it is very important that you seek the advice of your medical physician. If you are considering abdominoplasty, it is absolutely critical that you seek the advice of a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of plastic surgery help ensure you have the safest operation. I wish you the best. Dr .Gabbay

Answer: Rectus concerns I think that you should discuss the breathing issue with your doctor and get a thorough consultation. Nearly every women that has had a pregnancy will have some degree of rectus diastasis. I have never seen breathing issues be associated.Dr Rodger ShorttPlastic Surgeon Oakville OntarioAssistant Clinical Professor & Director of Cosmetic Surgery Training,McMaster University
