Will I permanently lose flexibility after tummy tuck? (photos)

April 14, 2017
Asked By:cflask in San Francisco, CA

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?
