Have you been struggling with the appearance of your abdomen long after you have gone through pregnancy? Many women are able to restore the flat appearance of their abdomen through dieting and exercise after their pregnancy, but this is not an effective option for everyone.

Many women will develop a condition known as diastasis recti due to the effects pregnancy has on the muscles of the abdomen. As the abdominal area rapidly expands, the abdominal muscles become strained and begin to separate. This issue creates a noticeable abdominal bulge that dieting and exercise can’t correct.

Diastasis recti can only be properly treated through surgery. The tummy tuck procedure can tighten the abdominal muscles to create a flat and attractive midsection and a stronger abdominal wall. Plastic surgeon Dr. Wendy Wong will carefully examine your abdomen in order to determine the extent of the issue and will formulate a surgical plan based on your unique needs.
