When reading the description of tummy tuck surgery, I read that they "tighten" the muscles, which gives me the impression that something bad may happen if trauma is suffered to the region. After the normal tummy tuck healing period has passed and stiches removed, are there are long-term dangers due to trauma to the stomach, such as from a punch or car accident? Would one be able to do normal exercise or, for instance, spar boxing after such an operation or would activiites need to be limited?
As far as hurting yourself after a tummy tuck, you shouldn't have any problems from a slight fender bender or mild blunt trauma to the abdomen. The healing process is pretty much complete after 6 weeks, so any mild injury to the abdominal area shouldn't really harm you.
Will cardio work or is a tummy tuck needed..i have a two year old and a 1 year old. i have lost 20 lbs n the sagging still remains...i am 22 years old...
Even though it's hard to give you an exact answer without seeing you, a tummy tuck is a great way to remove the excess skin after childbirth. Diet and exercise are wonderful and I encourage all of my patients to eat well and exercise frequently. However, it's hard to get the loose hanging skin to look good just with diet and exercise. Having had a lot of experience with patients just like you, they are thrilled with the result they get with a tummy tuck. A great diet and exercise afterward will help you maintain your new shape for years to come.
