What is Diastasis Recti, and how can a tummy tuck fix it?
Diastasis Recti is a condition where the abdominal muscles become separated, often after pregnancy or significant weight changes. This separation not only weakens core strength but also makes it very difficult to tighten or tone the midsection through exercise alone. It often leads to a central bulge and excess skin that many patients find frustrating, no matter how healthy their lifestyle.
This patient came to us with a significant muscle separation and through a tummy tuck
with liposuction, we were able to repair the separated muscles, remove the excess skin,
and refine her contour. The result is a smoother, flatter, and more balanced abdomen and a transformation that is nothing short of stunning.
If you’ve been struggling with stubborn abdominal changes, a consultation is the first step to learning if a tummy tuck is right for you.
