I had an endo TT (diastasis recti & umblical hernia) twins prego. Plication only (no fat/skin removed). I’m 3 mths PO & depressed - rounded pooch belly. 1st photo bikini-before, 2nd-after (plus 2 afters). My surgeon says give it 6 mths & repair if needed, but I feel sick about the cost (with little result) & worse thinking about going through this again (out of state too). Could this flatten out or is this my result? Revision? If so, when is it safe? Could it just not work on me? Thanks!
