Comprehensive abdominal restoration: muscle plication, hernia repair where needed, full-tension skin redraping. The umbilicus is sculpted, never simply transposed.
Is this for you?
- Diastasis recti following pregnancy
- Significant skin laxity after weight loss
- Abdominal wall hernia or umbilical hernia requiring repair
- Stable weight, complete with family planning
Low transverse incision designed to sit beneath the underwear line. Diastasis is closed with continuous absorbable suture; flap is redraped with progressive tension closure to minimise dog-ears and reduce drain dependence.
A flat, stable abdominal wall, a re-centred umbilicus with a natural shadow, a scar that fades into the bikini line by twelve months.
Muscle repair
We close diastasis recti — the structural change after pregnancy that no exercise can correct.
Drain-light recovery
Progressive tension closure removes dead space, allowing most patients to skip drains entirely.
Scar discipline
Scar therapy from week three: silicone, massage, laser if needed. We follow the scar for a full year.
Social recovery in 14 days · full recovery at 42

Days 1–14 — Foundation
Walking from day one. Compression worn continuously. Sleeping in a slight bend at the waist.
Weeks 3–6 — Standing tall
Full upright posture by week three. Return to office work, gentle walks build to thirty minutes.

Resistance training from week eight. Scar matures over twelve months and fades dramatically.
Before you book.
Can I have more children after?+
Possible but not advised. A subsequent pregnancy will undo the muscle repair.
How visible is the scar?+
Designed to sit below the underwear and bikini line. Faded and pale by twelve months.
Combined with liposuction?+
Often yes — flank and waist contouring is routine in the same session.
