Full tummy tuck required to fix Diastasis Recti and Umbilical Hernia or Mini TT/other surgery? (Photo)

June 16, 2015
Asked By:katiekola in Seattle, WA

I am concerned that if I just have my hernia repaired and not the diastasis then another hernia will appear. What surgical options are best for me? I am generally happy with the appearance of my stomach but as I excercise regularly I do not want to be worried that a hernia will come back if I don't have diastasis repaired? I have read that a mini TT will not suffice as this is only performed below the belly button. Pics are attached. Thanks
