DIASTASIS RECTI
Restore core strength and abdominal definition with medically guided treatments that are designed to help address diastasis recti through muscle repair, skin tightening, and targeted body contouring.
- Point 1 : 01 Diastasis recti is a separation of the rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba, commonly caused by pregnancy, weight changes, or increased abdominal pressure.

What Is TUMMY TUCK？
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles.
For diastasis recti, the procedure includes rectus plication—suturing the separated muscles together—to help restore core strength and refine the abdominal contour.

EMSCULPT® is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce muscle contractions, strengthening muscle tissue and supporting fat reduction.
For diastasis recti, EMSCULPT® helps target deep core muscles, including the transverse abdominis, to support core conditioning, though it does not surgically close or suture large muscle gaps.

Treatment Process
TREATMENT PROCESS
01
Consultation & Examination
During your consultation, we discuss your concerns about diastasis recti, review your medical history, and perform a physical examination. Our physicians assess the degree of muscle separation and evaluate skin laxity, fat distribution, and core function. We explain whether non-surgical options like EMSCULPT® or surgical approaches such as tummy tuck with muscle plication would best support your goals. All counseling is provided in English.
02
Treatment
Your procedure is customized to your anatomy and diastasis recti severity. For surgical options like a tummy tuck, the separated muscles are sutured together (rectus plication) while excess skin and fat are removed. For non-surgical options like EMSCULPT®, high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation strengthens deep core muscles without incisions. Appropriate anesthesia and comfort measures are provided for surgical procedures.
03
Aftercare
Following your procedure, we provide clear post-treatment instructions, including activity restrictions, compression garment use, and follow-up timing. Proper aftercare supports optimal healing and helps you achieve natural, functional abdominal contours. Our staff remains available to address any questions during your diastasis recti recovery period.
FAQ
Q
What is diastasis recti?
A
Diastasis recti is a condition where the rectus abdominis muscles separate along the linea alba, creating a visible bulge or gap in the midline of the abdomen.
Q
What causes diastasis recti?
A
The main causes include pregnancy, rapid weight changes, obesity, heavy lifting, or improper exercise techniques that increase intra-abdominal pressure and stretch the connective tissue.
Q
How do I know if I have diastasis recti?
A
Common signs include a visible bulge or doming along the midline, especially when contracting your abs, and a gap of two or more finger-widths between the muscles during a self-check.
Q
Can diastasis recti be fixed without surgery?
A
Mild cases may improve with targeted diastasis recti physical therapy and core exercises, but moderate to severe separation often requires surgical repair for lasting correction.
Q
What is the difference between diastasis recti and a hernia?
A
Diastasis recti involves muscle separation without a tear or hole in the abdominal tissue, while a hernia occurs when organs or tissue push through a weakness in the abdominal wall; both conditions can coexist.
Q
How is diastasis recti diagnosed?
A
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination to evaluate muscle separation, along with medical imaging such as ultrasound when necessary to measure the gap and assess overall severity.
Q
What is the recovery time and scar placement for diastasis recti surgery?
A
Most patients return to light activities within 2 to 3 weeks, with full exercise resuming around 6 to 8 weeks. The diastasis recti surgery scar is strategically placed low along the bikini line so it can be easily concealed under swimwear or underwear.
Q
Can men get diastasis recti?
A
Yes. While more common in women after pregnancy, men can develop diastasis recti due to weight fluctuation, heavy lifting, or improper exercise techniques.
Q
Does diastasis recti go away after pregnancy?
A
While some natural improvement may occur during the initial postpartum period, persistent muscle separation often remains over time and typically requires targeted medical treatment.
Q
Is diastasis recti surgery covered by insurance?
A
Diastasis recti repair is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by Japanese national health insurance unless accompanied by a medically necessary hernia repair.
