Abdominoplasty usually involves repairing a muscle separation and often liposuction, as well as removing excesss skin. All of these manoeuvres should help you achieve a "six pack". Regards, Dr Steve Merten, Sydney
A tummy tuck restores the abdominal muscles back to the position that they were prior to pregnancy or weight gain. A 6-pack can still be obtained with abdominal muscle work outs once you have healed from surgery.
A tummy tuck will not alter the chance to achieve a "six-pack abs". Quite the opposite. After the liposuction part of the operation, it may be more noticeable! Good luck in your journey!
A tummy tuck in no way interferes with creating further abdominal definition through exercise. No worries....
No, a tummy tuck does not prevent the ability to obtain six-pack abs. The operation removes redundant, loose skin and fat in the lower abdomen and the fascial plication tightens the abdominal wall. You are still able to build up your core abdominal muscles after you've fully recovered from the surgery and having a tighter skin envelope over those muscles can help make them more noticeable. Hope that helps and good luck!
No, a tummy tuck doesn't prevent this. You'll just want to make sure you have adequate healing time for your muscles before you do targeted core workouts.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL
