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?

Answer: Abdominal muscle tightening is key to getting a flat abdomen Most typical patients that seek abdominoplasty do it because they had developed excess abdominal skin due to pregnancy or weight loss. In both of these patients, there is usually significant loss of abdominal wall strenght which results in a "pouch". Therefore, it is essential to tighten the abdominal muscle, otherwise the patient would not get a flat abdomen. I can not comment about your specific case, since I have not examined you, but I suspect that if you have had pregnancies in the past, you would have benefited from tightening of your abdominal muscle.
