Should my diastasis have been fixed during my abdominoplasty?
Your surgeon should have fixed your diastasis at the time of your abdominoplasty – this is an inherent component of the procedure. Whether you had an umbilical hernia or not, the diastasis can be repaired. Diastasis is a weakening of the muscles. During the repair, the edges are sewn back together. If you still have a diastasis, then I would recommend going back to your plastic surgeon and have them explain what they did during your original surgery.
