Diastasis Recti
Diastasis Recti is a condition that occurs when your abdominal wall fascia which is the layer that surrounds the muscles of your abdominal wall become stretched and lose the ability to return to their original positioning. This can result in your abdominal wall protruding, and can result in widening of your waistline.
Is this procedure right for me?
Many women are diagnosed with Diastasis Recti as a condition post massive weight loss and post pregnancy. If you are interested in correcting this condition and find that diet and exercise have not gotten you to your goal, then surgical intervention (a tummy tuck) may be the next appropriate step. A thorough consultation with Dr. Capuano is important to determine whether this procedure is right for you.
