I had a c-section 21 yrs ago. I workout 5-6 days/week and am conscious of what I eat but my belly seems to be getting worse. Can diastasis recti be corrected at my age?

Answer: Can diastasis recti be corrected after 20 years? Thank you for your question. Yes, diastasis can be repaired at your age, but it's important to see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the procedure and have a physical exam to make sure that you don't have a hernia which changes the operation but does not preclude it.

Answer: Diastasis Recti Can Be Repaired At Any Age Diastasis Recti is a loosening of the connective tissue between the two central muscles of the abdominal wall. It can many times present much like a hernia (which is essentially a hole in the abdominal wall) and can be repaired at any age - just like a hernia or any other operation.I would not hesitate to fix this problem if it is something that bothers you.Good Luck!
