I am 5’ 11” 215 and have had 3 children. I was hoping to get a get a tummy tuck with muscle repair and a BBL. However, I heard if I got a tummy tuck I would no longer be able to perform Aerial silks or circus arts. It is ALL CORE strength. If I just got the TT without the MR then maybe that would be okay?
