How long after having a tummy tuck can I start doing sit ups/crunches?

I would ask your plastic surgeon for a specific answer. I generally tell my patients that they should not expect to do any core or abdominal exercises for at least 6 weeks after a tummy tuck. Good luck!

We recommend 6-12 weeks. Everybody heals differently. During abdominoplasty, the separation of the abs is stitched back together, and the excess skin is removed. Recovery is tough, but the results are outstanding. Best of luck!
