Asked By:creative1 in Louisville, KY

Full tt recently and I began wondering... when the stomach muscles are sewn together, are they cut then sewn so that they grow together, or is the muscle dependent on the material used to stitch it together? How durable is the "product" that is used? Thank you. sincerely
