So after a Tummy Tuck are you saying that you should not have to do crunches ever again? They won't be of any benefit? Does a tight ab mean a strong ab? And what about strengthening the core?

Answer: Tummy tuck is for the things that exercise doesn't do The tummy tuck procedure, like all plastic surgery, is for the parts that you can't accomplish with diet and exercise. The muscle tightening with a tummy tuck is really just bringing the muscles back to their original alignment, not making them stronger. Think of the abdominal muscles as a pair of straps that go from the rib cage to the pubic bone; when the abdomen expands with pregnancy or weight gain, the muscles are pushed apart. But since they contract vertically, they can't pull themselves back together side by side no matter how many crunches you do. Same thing with skin tone; if the abdominal skin is loose, it will not snap back tight with exercise. What the tummt tuck will do is help you to see the results of exercise better.

Answer: Crutches? I don't want my patients to use crutches or walkers during recovery from tt as it may actually cause a fall. The fascia tightens the muscles and brings the center of gravity in, reducing torque on the spine, which may help with back pain. Only by exercising the muscle will the muscle get strong.
