Has anyone had diastasis recti repair with minimal scarring?

October 4, 2014
Asked By:Mommyof2roses in Saint Louis, MO

I don't have much excess skin and only wanting to fix my separation. I have had 2 c-sections and have finally accepted my second scar because it's below my bikini line. If I were to get a TT I wouldn't want the scar any longer or higher than what I've already got. I've looked at so many TT pictures and the scar seems high in all of them. Is this a reasonable request or are there other surgeries that I'm not aware of?
