Emsculpt or tummy tuck? Which one can help with diastasis recti?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I had twins 2 months ago via c section. I have diastasis recti and I have been going to physical therapy but it’s not helping much. Do I need a tummy tuck with muscle repair? Would I be a candidate for emsculpt or coolsculpting? Can emsculpt help with diastasis recti? What would be the best option for flattening my abdomen?
A.Congratulations on your twins. I would recommend waiting for some time before considering extensive tummy tuck surgery. Exercise, diet, and time should help some with your diastasis recti. If after time the separation of your abdominal muscles remains large, then abdominoplasty is the answer. It there is a great deal of improvement and your diastasis recti is minimal then Emsculpt will help. Time will tell. Enjoy the new members of your family. Good luck and be well.
