How to Correct Diastasis Recti

Posted August 10, 2017 in Body Procedures by Josef Hadeed, MD

During pregnancy, the tissue and muscles of the abdomen are placed under enormous strain. The rapid expansion of the abdomen can result in a condition known as diastasis recti, where the muscles of the abdomen become weakened and begin to separate. This creates a noticeable pooch, or bulge, in the abdomen.

The only way to correct diastasis recti is through surgery. Abdominoplasty is the ideal procedure for correcting the muscles of the abdomen. The procedure will tightly suture the muscles along the abdominal wall closer together to create a tight and flat abdominal area. Liposuction will also be performed to remove any excess fat to ensure your abdomen has a well-toned appearance.
