What is the Best Technique to Ensure Diastasis Will Stay Repaired?
Lisa in CASep 4, 2011
Had full tummy tuck with repair to herniated belly button and diastasis recti repair. 7 1/2 weeks post op today. Noticed upper abdominal bulge 1 1/2 weeks ago, saw PS and was told I had loosened the stitches in that area. Revised tummy tuck suggested. The only stress I put on my stomach was coughing from a cold. Could I have thinner tissue than the average person and is there a special surgical technique that can be used to prevent area from bulging after revised tummy tuck?
