Find out more about the role of muscle repair in abdominoplasty below.
Why Muscle Repair Is Important in Abdominoplasty
One of the common conditions addressed during abdominoplasty is diastasis recti. This condition involves the separation of the abdominal muscles.
Diastasis recti often occurs after pregnancy or weight fluctuations. It leaves a noticeable gap between the muscles. This gap can lead to a protruding belly, poor posture, and back pain.
Muscle repair during abdominoplasty involves tightening and stitching together these separated muscles. This restores the abdominal wall to its natural position.
This muscle repair process creates a smoother, flatter appearance. It also helps to strengthen the core and improves body function and posture.
What to Expect During Muscle Repair in Abdominoplasty
During the procedure, Dr. Friedman will assess the extent of your muscle separation.
After removing excess skin and fat, he will bring the separated muscles back together, securing them in place to create a firm abdominal wall. This step is essential for ensuring long-lasting results and improving core stability.
The idea of muscle repair might seem daunting at first. However, most patients report that the discomfort is manageable and that the improved results are well worth the recovery.
Patients usually experience a noticeable improvement in their posture, core strength, and body contour after surgery.
