Patient Description

The severe diastasis was repaired with a standard tummy tuck and extensive muscle repair. Dr. Mizgala injected long acting numbing medicine and Exparel into her muscles to minimize postoperative discomfort. This young mother feels so much better physically and also fits in her pre pregnancy clothes so much better. She enjoys all her activities with her 4 young children without the discomfort of her previous muscle laxity.

this young mother of four called her abdominal pouch 'alien'. She had extreme separation of the muscles causing pain and deformity.
