I am 3 weeks post-op from Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck. My surgeon didnt have to tighten my abs, so I believe my healing would be faster. He said I didnt need it done. In any case, what are the benefits of having it done?
Answer: Muscle tightening during tummy tuck can make the tummy more flat. If your doctor told you that the muscles did not need to be tightened I would believe him. The most common reason to tighten the muscles during tummy tuck is when the abdominal muscles, called the Rectus Abdominus Muscles, are split and weakened by pregnancy. The split in the muscle allows the contents of the abdomen to protrude and cause a bulge. This condition is called a Diastasis Recti. When the muscles are repaired during the tummy tuck, the tummy or abdomen is flattened. Occasionally, if the abdominal muscles are very weak and stretched by pregnancy, I plicate or tighten them just to flatten the tummy more. If you are fit and have good abdominal muscles there was no need to surgically tighten them. See my before and after photos #6 on RealSelf

Answer: Not all tummy tucks require repair of the abdominal wall.
Repair of the abdominal wall is performed when it is lax and contributes to abdominal prominence. Occasionally, it is not a contributing factor (usually a male patient) and repair is unnecessary. The surgeon judges this pre-op and at the time of the operation.

Answer: Skin only tummy tuck
Why are you asking after the operation? I would hope that you would see reduction of excess or lax skin in the case of a "skin only" tummy tuck.

Answer: Wait till you're healed before evaluating Tummy Tuck results You will have to wait until you have healed to see if your tummy is flat enough without having tightened your muscles. If there is any remaining protuberance, then you will know what the benefits of muscle tightening would have been. Of course, you may be able to achieve some tightening with exercise and strengthening. Good luck!
