I am quite slim, had two babies, have a fair amount of excess skin and a muscle separation of 3.8 cm accordlng to scan. I used to be super active and am primarily wanting to do this to improve functionality. I want ti be able to do all HIT training, backbends, running, light boxing training, kite surfing. Will i be able to do all of this to full extend?
Answer: Recovery and Return to Sport After Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair Based on your description, you sound like a good candidate for a tummy tuck with muscle repair. Once fully healed, most patients are able to return to high-level activities like HIIT, running and even sports like boxing and kite surfing. Recovery takes time—usually 6–12 months for full strength and core function—but with proper rehab, full return to function is very achievable.

Answer: Tummy tuck and the possibility of exercises and HIT training afterwords Thank you for your query. If you have loose skin and muscle separation, you can certainly consider a tummy tuck procedure. It may take you a while, after surgery to get back to all the exercises, but you should able to do everything that you are doing now, in a few months after surgery. Most of my patients feel that they have more core strength than before, a few months after the tummy tuck.. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: A Tummy Tuck Can Significantly Improve Functionality and Core Strength Thank you for your question. Based on your description of a 3.8 cm muscle separation (diastasis recti) and the impact on your functionality, a tummy tuck could be an excellent option for you. Many individuals with similar concerns find that abdominoplasty not only improves their aesthetic appearance but also restores core strength and allows them to return to high-intensity activities.
