What is Diastasis Recti?

It's sometimes called the pregnancy problem that no one talks about. To put it simply, as the belly swells during pregnancy, the abdominal muscles and tissues will thin out and stretch to accommodate the growing uterus. After birth, these tissues usually return to their normal size. But in about two-thirds of moms, they don't. This leaves the two sides of your abdominal muscles separated. The result is a permanent bulge in the belly and excess skin. Unfortunately, no amount of exercise or sit-ups will make it go away.

Can You Fix Diastasis Recti with a Tummy Tuck?

Women have a couple of options for repairing their diastasis recti. The first is to undergo surgery just to repair the diastasis recti. During this procedure, the surgeon will use sutures to pull the muscles back together.

But another option that many moms prefer is to get a tummy tuck. Moms can then repair not just the muscle separation, but also remove the excess skin. During the tummy tuck procedure, Dr. Hall will use sutures to tighten the abdominal muscles and tissues. But he will also remove excess skin around the belly button and in the lower abdomen-a common issue with diastasis recti. On top of that, Dr. Hall can also use liposuction to reshape the tummy and give it a more youthful form during the tummy tuck.

Moms that are ready to get back their pre-pregnancy bodies should call Dr. Hall today at (865) 973-9500.
