Restore your core strength and confidence with diastasis recti repair at Bailey Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Centre in Springfield, MO. This specialized procedure addresses the separation of abdominal muscles that commonly occurs after pregnancy or significant weight changes.


Diastasis recti repair is a surgical procedure that corrects the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles (the “six-pack” muscles) along the midline of the abdomen. This condition occurs when the connective tissue between these muscles stretches and weakens, creating a gap that can lead to a bulging belly, a weakened core, and functional issues.
The repair involves surgically reattaching the separated muscles and reinforcing the abdominal wall. Dr. Colin E. Bailey, MD, carefully sutures the muscles together, creating a stronger and flatter abdominal profile that improves both appearance and core function.
