Will I be able to get into bodybuilding after getting a tummy tuck?

the answer is YES!

A great many of my patients have gotten tummy tucks and gone back straight into body building

In fact depending on their history of pregnancy and rectus diastasis some of them even do better

Hope this helps

all the best

Hello, I've had quite a few patients (female and male) get into body building after their tummy tuck, and some have won awards. Bodybuilding should be fine as long as you are fully healed and cleared by your surgeon to resume vigorous activity.

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes skin and fat to create a smoother and firmer abdominal area. The healing process from this procedure should take around 6 - 8 weeks depending on a multiple of different factors including your surgeon, the type of tummy tuck, age, etc. After this period of time, you should be able to continue full activity including body building. However, it is recommended to slowly build up your exercise regiment according to your surgeons guidance. Hope this helps!
