Core Strengthening Exercises to Do After Tummy Tuck?

I had a Tummy Tuck on 2/23/09. My tummy is flat when I stand, but when I bend over, my tummy hangs. Can this be fixed? I also am able to suck in and make it look concave. Should I still be able to do that?

Results after a tummy tuck

It would really help if you posted some before and after photos. But you have to be realistic after such a procedure.

There is a limit to how much and how tight one can be pulled and how tight the abdominal fascia can be pulled. Hope that helps.

Results from a tummy tuck procedure can vary from patient to patient. Tummy Tucks involve repairing and tightening of the rectus muscles while also removing as much extra tissue and loose skin possible. However, you must be realistic with your expectations. Posting pics may help determine whether you would benefit from a tummy tuck revision.
