Has anyone had success treating diastasis recti in an in-shape male? Can this be done without a lower tummy tuck?

Question

Has anyone had success treating Diastasis recti that is an in shape male without having to do a lower tummy tuck. It seems most doctors want to do a lower tummy tuck, but if you do not need one can it be fixed successfully through a different surgical method?

Daniel Careaga, MD · Answer

is a common misconception that only women can get a diastasis of the abdominal wall. Men can although to a lesser extent, get one as well. For male patient with a mild to moderate diastasis without significant skin laxity. EmSculpt is an excellent option. EmSculpt is a non-invasive treatment in which the muscles of the abdominal wall are strengthened. This intern causes improvement of the diastasis. The treatments are done weekly for four weeks with improvement noted two months over the last treatment.

Dear Thriving919263,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.
