Can I Tighten my Tummy with Exercise, or Do I Need a Tummy Tuck Revision?
Even after a tummy tuck, my stomach still hangs when I bend down. Is it possible to tighten my stomach muscles further with exercise, or do I need a tummy tuck revision?

Exercise after Tummy Tuck Surgery
Thank you for your question.
It is difficult to say without examining you (or seeing photos) but if you have "loose skin" then exercise will most likely not correct the hanging skin.
Best to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over your options in detail.
Best Wishes!

Persistently loose skin after a
If your skin hangs after you do a tummy tuck, it is most likely that you have loose skin rather than loose muscles. I do not feel that tightening up the muscles would make any significant difference. However, additional skin tightening may be achieved with a scar revision..

Tummy Tuck and Hanging Skin
It really depends by what you mean by hanging. If it is skin then you will need a revision tummy tuck. Skin does not retract back with exercise. You can tighten up your muscles and firm your abdomen with exercise but skin will continue to hang even with vigorous workouts.
Good luck
