Is it normal too be able to feel the suture post diastisis repair?

In thin patients this is not uncommon. We do our best to bury them so that this is not an issue, but occasionally one can be felt. Depending on the type of suture used, this may or may not improve with time. Talk to your surgeon about the issue and the anticipated likelihood of resolution.

Hello Alwaysfitgirl.  Yes it is possible to feel the stitches that are used to tighten the rectus muscles after surgery.  More common in thin women.  Usually, you feel them more at this time because of swelling and scarring around the stitches that should resolve over time.  I like to start my patients with scar massage about two weeks after surgery.  I also ask them to massage areas that seem full or hard as well.  Best thing for you is to give this time, minimum 6 months to resolve.  Good luck to you.

It is not uncommon to be able to feel a muscle repair suture in a thin, fit individual.  Just remember... not only could you feel, but you could also see the weak, loose, bulgy muscle wall BEFORE surgery.  An alternative is to gain weight...but most people don't want to do that.  The suture line is a necessary evil so to speak.  There is definitely nothing to do about it right now.  Best to get throughout the healing process and discuss it with your PS down the road.  If it is terribly bothersome there are options to deal with it.  Good luck.
