Stomach separation and Sculpsure?

Question

I have some stomach seperation about 1 to 2 finger width after having my two children. Can I still have Sculpsure performed.

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. SculpSure is a generally safe procedure that can be performed in many health scenarios due to the fact that it targets only the subcutaneous area. The in-person consultation will be able to address your concerns and provide you with a treatment plan.

Best wishes,

Yes. You have what is called diastasis recti and it is ok to have ScupSure with this condition but keep in mind that it will not bring your muscles closer together so make sure that your expectations are reasonable. And make sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon to be assessed in person first just to be safe.

It sounds like you are still a good candidate for Sculpsure.  The muscle separation will not improve with Sculpsure, and I agree with the plan for placing the panels to the sides of the muscle as a precaution, but I think it is probably reasonable for you to have this procedure (after an exam by the physician, of course!)

David Finkle, MD · Answer

SculpSure should not be used over an abdominal hernia.  If there is just a separation of the muscles (diastasis recti) then SculpSure is safe to use, but it does not correct the separation.

The area of your stomach separation, also knowns as a "rectus diastasis" or "diastasic recti" should be avoided during SculpSure treatment. Have the area outlined with a marker by your technician before treatment.
