Was treated for breast cancer with “muscle-sparing free tram flap that included a tummy tuck. I now have adiastases recti problem. I do not have a hernia,  After 1 year, I
am still very uncomftable.  Core excercises have helped but still have the bulge.

Does anyone know if there is a natural solution or minimally invasive surgery,
like microscopic/laser/Laparoscopic to fix diastases recti?  I need to
know what to do or what type dr to see. Live in NJ but can go to nyc, pa  Can cartlage around muscels be repaired by Tuppler sugical splint (a binder that holds in your core/6pack muscles)  and
doing core mussel excercise? What are
options? Will weight loss affect
treatment? Am about 15 lb overweight and
have 3 finger seperation.Any suggestions?   

Other question is how to remove hair from flap used for breast that came from groin area. Is Laser Hair Removal / electralis on new breast safe? Or will it cause problems?
