Was told by surgeon that pulling abdominal muscles very tight during TT would not affect Pelvic Floor Prolapse Issues, true?

Asked By:Alice marie in Lancaster, PA

My obgyn and physical therapist said it would be okay that I have a tummy tuck despite some of my mild pelvic floor prolapse issues. During a consult I asked the surgeon to not pull the muscles too super tight as to not add any unecessary pressure. He told me that he will pull them very tight but that I shouldn't worry about it affecting my pelvic floor. Does this sound right or should I keep consulting?
