What is abdominal diastasis?

Abdominal diastasis, or diastasis recti, refers to the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles along the center of the abdomen, known as the linea alba. This condition often develops during pregnancy, after significant weight gain, or following repeated abdominal strain.

When the connective tissue between the two muscle bands stretches and weakens, the abdominal wall loses its tension and stability. As a result, patients may notice a protruding or rounded belly, loss of core strength, lower back pain, and sometimes digestive discomfort.

More than just a cosmetic concern, untreated diastasis can worsen over time, leading to posture problems, hernias, or chronic pain. Identifying and managing it early is crucial to restoring both the function and appearance of the abdomen.

Main symptoms and who is concerned?

While abdominal diastasis most often affects women after pregnancy, it can also occur in men or anyone who has experienced significant abdominal pressure or rapid body changes.
The following table summarizes the main symptoms and groups most at risk:

Symptoms

What you may experience

Who is most concerned

Visible bulge or ridge along the midline

A belly that stays round or protrudes even after weight loss or childbirth.

Women after pregnancy, especially after multiple births.

Abdominal weakness

Difficulty engaging core muscles, feeling of instability.

People with abdominal obesity or with weak core muscles.

Lower back pain

Chronic discomfort due to poor posture and weak abdominal support.

Both men and women after rapid weight gain or loss.

Digestive problems

Bloating, constipation, or discomfort during digestion.

Individuals with long-term abdominal pressure or poor muscle tone.

Urinary leakage

Mild incontinence caused by pelvic floor weakness.

Postpartum women or older adults.

Recognizing these symptoms early helps determine whether rehabilitation or surgical repair is the best treatment approach.

Diagnosis of diastasis recti in Istanbul, Turkey

Early detection of abdominal diastasis is essential to avoid complications. In Istanbul, diagnosis combines clinical evaluation and advanced imaging techniques for accurate results.

Here's how the process typically unfolds:

  1. Initial consultation and physical exam: The specialist examines the abdomen while you slightly lift your shoulders or head from a lying position. A visible or palpable ridge along the midline usually indicates the presence of diastasis.
  2. Ultrasound confirmation: An ultrasound scan is often performed to measure the distance between the rectus muscles and assess tissue elasticity. It's a safe, quick, and non-invasive way to confirm the diagnosis.
  3. MRI for detailed evaluation (if needed): In complex or severe cases, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a more precise view of the abdominal wall, helping surgeons plan potential repair procedures.
  4. Differential diagnosis: The medical team distinguishes diastasis from other abdominal conditions, such as umbilical hernias, epigastric hernias, or abdominal hernias, to ensure the right treatment approach.

Once the diagnosis is established, your doctors in Turkey can recommend the most suitable solution, from targeted physiotherapy to surgical repair, based on your individual case and goals.

Treatment Options for Abdominal Diastasis in Turkey

In Turkey, two main approaches are available to correct abdominal diastasis and restore a firm, toned abdomen. The choice depends on the degree of muscle separation, the patient's symptoms, and aesthetic expectations.

 Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

This non-surgical option is recommended for mild to moderate cases. It focuses on strengthening the deep abdominal muscles through specific exercises guided by a physiotherapist. Regular sessions improve posture, reduce discomfort, and gradually bring the rectus muscles back together, restoring core stability.

Surgical Repair

When the separation is severe or persistent, surgical intervention becomes the most effective solution. The surgeon tightens the abdominal wall, removes excess skin and fat if necessary, and restores the alignment of the muscles. Depending on the case, this can be done through a classic abdominoplasty or a less invasive mini-abdominoplasty. In some situations, laparoscopy may be used for quicker recovery and reduced scarring.

Each patient benefits from a personalized treatment plan developed after a complete medical assessment. With Turquie Santé, you can receive a free quote and professional advice from expert plastic surgeons in Turkey to choose the best option for your situation.

How diastasis recti surgery is performed in Istanbul, Turkey

Diastasis recti surgery in Istanbul follows several key steps to ensure both functional and aesthetic results.

Preoperative consultation

The surgeon conducts a full assessment to evaluate the muscle separation and determine the most suitable surgical approach. An ultrasound may be recommended to refine the diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan.

Surgical procedure

Performed under general anesthesia, a discreet incision is made in the lower abdomen. The separated muscles are then stitched together, and if needed, liposuction or a reinforcing mesh may be added to strengthen the abdominal wall.

Postoperative recovery

Hospitalization usually lasts 1 to 2 days. Light daily activities can resume after about two weeks, while the final result becomes visible between one and three months after surgery.

This well-structured approach allows patients to safely regain a firm, balanced abdomen and lasting confidence in their body.

Expected results

After diastasis recti surgery in Turkey, patients can expect a noticeably flatter, firmer, and more toned abdomen. The realignment of the abdominal muscles not only improves body shape but also enhances posture and core stability.

 Many patients report reduced back pain, better mobility, and renewed self-confidence. While mild swelling may persist for a few weeks, the final results typically appear between three and six months after surgery, revealing a natural and harmonious abdominal contour.

Risks of and how to minimize them

When performed by skilled surgeons in accredited clinics in Istanbul, diastasis recti surgery is a safe procedure with rare and easily managed complications:

Potential risk

Description

How to minimize it

Infection

May occur at the incision site if proper hygiene is not maintained.

Follow all postoperative care instructions, keep the area clean, and take prescribed antibiotics if recommended.

Swelling and bruising

Common in the first few weeks after surgery.

Wear compression garments and avoid strenuous activity until cleared by the surgeon.

Scarring

A small, discreet scar may remain after healing.

Use recommended scar creams and protect the area from sun exposure.

Seroma (fluid accumulation)

Can form under the skin after surgery.

Attend follow-up visits for monitoring; drainage may be performed if necessary.

Muscle weakness or recurrence

Rare, may happen if the sutures loosen or heavy lifting occurs too soon.

Avoid lifting heavy objects and follow a gradual return-to-exercise plan supervised by your doctor.

With proper medical follow-up, personalized care, and patient cooperation, these risks remain minimal, allowing for a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
