46yo female with 2 abdominal hernias and diastastis recti. I need the hernias repaired and would like to get the diastasis recti repaired as well. I went to a general surgeon and he said he could only repair the hernias and couldn’t do anything for the diastasis recti. He recommended I seek out a plastic surgeon for the DR repair. In my research, I’ve only seen the repair done in tandem with a tummy tuck. Is there a way to repair it with out the tummy tuck? My DR is measured 5.8cm wide.
