I want a second opinion about what procedure would help my slight diastasis recti become less budged and pronounced. What could help flatten my stomach other than working out, losing weight? Anything surgical?

Answer: Lower abdominal bulge Diet and exercise is always recommended and will help if there is excess fat. If there is weakness to the abdominal wall, surgery could be performed to tighten the abdominal muscles. I would consult with a plastic surgeon to evaluate this problem.

Answer: Diastasis repair Hello and thank you for your question! If your main concern is the presence of a diastasis, then liposuction with an endoscopic repair could be the right choice for you. If you're looking to remove excess skin and help contour the abdomen slightly as well, a mini-abdominoplasty could be the right choice. However, a proper in-office evaluation with a plastic surgeon would be the best way to determine which procedure and techniques would work best for you and your goals. Hope this helps!

Answer: Lower abdomen not flat Dear tspada, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you have muscle separation, then muscle plication would help. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
