Should I Do Situps Before my Abdominoplasty?

October 4, 2012
Asked By:anil.p.lina in Richardson, Texas

I'm 22 and lost 80 lbs in the past 3 years, and 30 lbs when I was in high school. Both times I could never get my abdominal muscles to become defined no matter how much I did. I'm getting an extended abdominoplasty with liposuction to the flanks in 2 months (this december) where they will be tightening my abdominal mucles. I've read in some places that you shouldn't do abdominal crunches as this could worsen the condition, but then some say that it can only help? Which one is it? Thanks.
