Does Abdominal Muscle Work After Tummy Tuck?

mysteree
I've manage to gain some weight back after having a tummy tuck 3 years ago. Relaxed, my abs show a slight bulge now. Are there specific exercises I can do to get my muscles back in shape and tightened again? Having had a c-section before my plastic surgery, I'm clear that my muscles were not going to work again around my tummy - with the surgery does that change?
