Diastasis recti repair restores abdominal muscle function, improves core strength, and creates a flatter, firmer abdomen. At Aesthetics by King’s College Hospital London, Dubai, our specialist plastic surgeons provide personalized treatment plans to help patients regain abdominal support and confidence after pregnancy or other causes of muscle separation.
What is diastasis recti repair?
Diastasis recti (abdominal separation) is a condition where the rectus abdominis, commonly called the “six-pack” muscles, separate along the midline of the abdomen. When the gap exceeds a few centimeters, it is abnormal and can affect both the appearance and function of the abdominal wall.
The condition most commonly develops during or after pregnancy as the growing uterus stretches the abdominal muscles and connective tissue. It can also affect men, and postmenopausal women. In men, repeated weight fluctuations, improper weightlifting techniques, and incorrect exercise form may contribute to the condition.
Treatment depends on the severity of the separation. Many patients benefit from rehabilitation exercises. Surgery may be recommended if conservative treatment does not provide sufficient improvement.
Who is a good candidate for diastasis recti repair?
You may be a suitable candidate if you have been diagnosed with diastasis recti and experience symptoms that affect your daily activities or quality of life.
Common signs and symptoms include:
- A visible ridge or bulge down the center of the abdomen
- Weak abdominal muscles
- Poor posture
Your doctor will perform a physical examination before recommending the most appropriate treatment.
What results can you expect?
Many patients experience improved abdominal support, stronger core muscles, and better physical function following treatment.
Following surgical repair, patients can generally expect:
- Improved core strength
- Better abdominal contour
- Enhanced posture
- Increased physical function
- Greater confidence in their appearance
Recovery from surgery typically takes four to six weeks for most patients. Complete healing may take several months. Most individuals gradually return to normal activities within eight to twelve weeks, depending on the procedure’s complexity and their recovery progress.
