Pros and Cons of Permanent Vs. Dissolvable Sutures for Diastasis?

Its definitely an odd thing to think about, but dont let it keep you up. The sutures are really there just to hold things together while the body heals everything in place. However, many surgeons feel that in such a dynamic and often used portion of the body, if a permanent result is desired permanent sutures are better suited to that effect. To be on the safe side, I prefer permanent sutures as do most plastic surgeons. Some use dissolvable and seem to do just fine, so you could go either way.

Either would be acceptable as long as each strong enough to hold during the healing phase. Some absorbable sutures lose their strength too quickly while others last an adequate time.
