I had Diep surgery 4 years ago & was never thrilled with results. Specifically my question involves the stomach to include fascia tightening all the way up. vs just to my belly button. As it stands now, the bottom is tight & the top of my torso feels full and "loose". I'm worried that if I don't have significant diastasis, will I be to tight? Are the results worth the healing & pain,, flatter/strong torso, or a subtle result? im nervous!
