After a tummy tuck with muscle repair, should you be able to get a finger in between the abs when relaxed? Then if i tense the muscles come together and my fingers are still in the middle. The top of my abs seem solid and i can't do this but below tge belly button i can.

Answer: Muscle firmness after the tummy tuck This is not how the result of a tummy tuck is evaluated, but in upright position. In a tummy tuck , only the fascia (layer around the muscle ) is tightened not the actual muscle. So if you lay back and relax, muscles are relaxed.

Answer: After tummy tuck & muscle repair, should I be able to get a finger in between abs when relaxed? Thank you for your question and including pictures. There are several possibilities. Your muscle repair wasn't performed. It was performed but the sutures broke or pulled through the tissues. Or, your muscles were just not tightened enough. In any of these cases, unfortunately the only thing to do is to repeat the tummy tuck and do additional tightening.
