Why Diastasis Is Repaired During Abdominoplasty
18.09.2026
During abdominoplasty, the surgeon assesses both skin and the abdominal wall.
What matters
When diastasis is present, plication can narrow the separation and improve midline support. It is not weight-loss treatment and does not replace hernia care.
How planning works
Tissues, proportions, previous procedures, expectations and long-term stability are assessed.
When to seek consultation
An individual plan is discussed during consultation. Related service: full abdominoplasty.
FAQ
Is there one best method?
No. The method depends on anatomy, goals and safety.
Can a photograph provide the answer?
A photograph is useful for orientation but cannot replace examination.
This educational material does not replace a consultation and examination.
