What Are the Benefits of Tummy Tuck Muscle Tightening?

Asked By:cemh28 in oklahoma

I am 3 weeks post-op from Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck. My surgeon didnt have to tighten my abs, so I believe my healing would be faster. He said I didnt need it done. In any case, what are the benefits of having it done?
