Nestled in the heart of Bakersfield, Desired Beauty offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures tailored to meet your individual needs. One of our specialty services is Diastasis Recti Repair surgery, a procedure designed to address the separation of abdominal muscles commonly experienced post-pregnancy or after significant weight change. Under the proficient guidance of our board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Farzin Kerendian, you can reclaim your body’s natural alignment and engage in a life unhindered by physical discomfort.
Diastasis Recti: More Than a Cosmetic Issue
While diastasis recti might appear as a simple aesthetic problem, it carries the potential for functional setbacks such as core instability and lower back pain. The condition can affect anyone—men, women, and particularly mothers after childbirth. Symptoms range from a noticeable belly pooch to actual discomfort and even gastrointestinal issues like bloating or constipation. Ignoring these symptoms can result in long-term physical problems, including persistent back pain.
Why Choose Diastasis Recti Repair in Bakersfield
Choosing to undergo this procedure at our Bakersfield location brings multiple benefits:
- Enhanced Core Stability: The surgery repairs the muscle separation, thereby enhancing core strength.
- Alleviation of Pain: A successful surgery can lead to a significant reduction in associated lower back pain.
- Improved Physical Abilities: Strengthened core muscles allow for improved performance in daily and athletic activities.
- Increased Self-Confidence: Regaining your pre-condition body shape can work wonders for your self-esteem.
What Happens During the Surgery?
After a detailed consultation and medical review, Dr. Kerendian will design a surgical plan tailored for you. The procedure usually involves an incision made above the pubic area, stretching from one hip bone to the other. The muscle is then sutured back to its original position, and any excess skin may be removed. The surgery generally lasts between one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Post-surgery, expect a recovery period of about 1-2 weeks. You’ll likely need to wear an abdominal binder for a few weeks to support the healing process. Scheduled follow-up visits will allow us to monitor your recovery and ensure that you are on the right track towards reclaiming your life.
