DIASTASIS RECTI CORRECTION
Diastasis Recti occurs when the abdominal muscles, specifically the rectus abdominis, separate, often due to pregnancy, weight gain, or rapid weight loss. This separation can cause a bulging stomach and discomfort, affecting both the appearance and function of the abdominal area.
Consultant Plastic Surgeon Mr Mark Ho-Asjoe offer Diastasis Recti correction surgery to restore abdominal muscle strength, improve the stomach's appearance, and address any discomfort caused by the condition.
Benefits of Diastasis Recti Correction Surgery
- Restores core strength and stability by rejoining separated abdominal muscles.
- Improves abdominal appearance, helping to achieve a flatter, firmer stomach.
- Relieves discomfort, such as back pain and poor posture, by strengthening the core.
- Boosts self-confidence with a toned, sculpted appearance.
Procedure overview
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision to access and repair the abdominal muscles, bringing them back together. Excess skin may be removed if needed. The procedure can also be combined with a tummy tuck for those seeking additional skin tightening.
