Diastasis recti, hernia repair and breast implant exchange - which should be done first to minimize recovery and how far apart?

Fantastic217913
I will undergo Diastasis Recti and umbical Hernia repair with Da Vinci robot. It is a ppst pregnancy procedure and is covered by my health insurance. I was also planning exchanging my breast implants for smaller ones which I will have to pay myself and do at a different surgeon as the one who will correct my DR is not a plastic surgeon. How can I do it best with timing so that I fo not have 2 times the recovery time? Can I do the other operation few days later? And which one first?
