If you're experiencing a persistent abdominal bulge, core weakness or discomfort following pregnancy or significant weight changes, you may be dealing with diastasis recti — a separation of the abdominal muscles. At Hillcrest Plastic Surgery in Orlando, we specialize in diastasis recti repair surgery to restore core strength, alleviate discomfort and help you regain confidence in your body.
Our Process
At Hillcrest Plastic Surgery, we prioritize a patient-centered approach to diastasis recti surgery:
- Consultation: We begin with a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of muscle separation and discuss your symptoms and goals.
- Customized surgical plan: Our board-certified surgeons develop a tailored surgical plan, which includes muscle repair and skin and tissue contouring.
- Surgery: Performed under general anesthesia, the procedure involves repositioning and suturing the separated muscles to restore core strength and stability.
- Recovery: Your physician will advise you on post-operative care, which includes cleaning your incision properly, managing pain and discomfort and gradually resuming activities.

FAQ
Factors like age, overall health and post-surgery care play a key role in your recovery time. Most patients can return to light activities within one or two weeks. Swelling may persist for up to six weeks, with full recovery taking three to six months. Adhering to post-operative instructions is crucial for optimal healing.
Insurance coverage depends on your provider and the severity of your condition. If diastasis recti leads to chronic pain, mobility issues or a hernia, your plan may offer full or partial coverage. To qualify, your diastasis recti repair physician must provide clear documentation proving medical necessity.
A qualified diastasis recti repair doctor can assess your condition and recommend surgery to restore muscle function, improve posture, reduce lower back and pelvic pain and give you a flatter stomach.
