I'm planning to have the BBL wihin the next 3 months. A few Drs suggested that I have tummy tuck as well. As an athlete compete in Brzilian Jiu Jitsu on a regular basis. [BJJ is a grappling sport where you are trying to choke your opponent or attack their joints to get them to tap out. It is a very aggressive sport that relies heavily on core strength. I'm not sure I really need the tummy tuck but if I do get it, how will it effect my abdominal muscle strength and athletic performance?
