Can Diastasis recti be repaired as part of a mommy makeover? If so, is a regular tummy tuck or extended tummy tuck best?

Hello and thank you for your question. It would be useful to see some photos for a better evaluation. Muscle repair is a standard part of regular tummy tuck. In terms of regular or extended, unfortunately I cannot give you a specific answer without seeing photos. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.
Best wishes and good luck,

A mommy makeover is one or more procedures that restore a woman’s body after having children, and these procedures are customized based on the individual patient. Therefore, if diastasis recti is an issue for you, then repair can be performed during your mommy makeover. A full tummy tuck would target the area above your belly button, where your previous surgery was unable to target.
