Rectus diastasis surgery can provide significantly more quality of life, especially for women after pregnancy.
Body Surgery · Dortmund
To give your child room to develop, the straight abdominal muscles gradually move further apart. The resulting muscle gap recedes by itself after birth in many cases. Unfortunately, this does not happen in all cases.
This is especially true when the muscle gap impairs the posture in the trunk area, which can lead to back pain and, in the long term, various secondary complaints.
Depending on the width of the muscle gap and the extent of the excess skin, minimally invasive and open procedures are available.
For small amounts of excess skin along the midline of the abdominal wall, minimally invasive methods are also conceivable, which can be performed up to a rectus diastasis width of 5 cm.
In the MILOS technique (Mini- or Less Open Sublay), a synthetic mesh is inserted through a small skin incision. You can benefit from minimal scarring and a significantly reduced recovery time.
The rectus diastasis is corrected by suturing the separated muscle strands together so that the gap in the connective tissue is reduced with a fascial suture.
If required, a mesh can be sewn in using an onlay technique for additional stability.
The term mommy makeover is used colloquially and refers to the combination of various treatments to reconstruct the female body after a pregnancy.
