Is it better to strengthen your stomach muscles prior to having a tummy tuck, or should you wait until after the surgery?
Answer: Strengthening abdominal muscles before tummy tuck It will not make a significant difference in your result if you strengthen your abdominal muscles before having a tummy tuck procedure. The space between the muscles (diastasis) is what really needs to be addressed during the surgery. The muscles themselves do not have much impact on the fianl contour. Of course, the stronger your muscles, the stronger your abdominal wall will be and if you can get your percent body fat low enough, you'll have a better chance at having a six pack.

Answer: No need to work on muscles before tummy tuck There is nothing wrong with your muscles. After pregnancy, it is the fascia (the connective tissue that houses the muscles) that becomes lax. Also this is seen after major weight loss. All the exercise in the world will not fix the damage to this tissue. The surgery does nothing to the muscle, although the perception is that the operation "fixes" the muscle. In reality , the fascia is fixed, the muscle is left alone.

Answer: Physical Conditioning Will Help Your Result and Speed Recovery I feel that toning the abdominal muscles helps the result, and being cardio-fit speeds recovery. I tell patients that I'd rather operate on a 50-year old spin-class queen than a 25-year old couch potato !

Answer: Exercise Before Tummy Tuck There is no benefit to perform abdominal exercises before your surgery. There is also no need to perform the exercises after surgery as well. The surgery itself will tighten things up.
