Still cannot arch my back 1 year post Tummy Tuck

Thoughtful312218
Will i ever get full mobility back? No lipo, only vertical sutures on lower abdomen. I still wanted ab separation as I compete in body building. 200g skin removed. Still very tight, not the muscle but the skin. I can't even fully stretch otherwise I can feel my skin so tight that it restrains me from fully doing so. Will this ever be normal?
