I'm and aerialist and will be getting a tummy tuck next week. I know I won't be able to stretch/workout for quite some time and will certainly take some steps back as far as my flexibility goes. But I was curious if it's possible for me to get back to my current level or if there will be permanent limitations due to the tightening of my skin and abdominal muscles?

Answer: Will I permanently lose flexibility after tummy tuck? Hello CFlask.I believe you will lose some flexibility and this may return some as you fully heal. However, your situation is pretty unique and not common. Use your plastic surgeon as a resource on what you can expect.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Answer: Will I permanently lose flexibility after tummy tuck? Understanding that your plastic surgeon (or online consultants) cannot make any promises, most patients are able to return to full activity (with full flexibility) in the long-term, after tummy tuck surgery (I would not expect any permanent limitations). Obviously (as you mentioned), it may be many months and even up to one year before you are able to achieve the flexibility you demonstrate in the photographs. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
