Anaesthetically attractive abdomen is the goal of every patient who undergoesabdominoplasty surgery. Surgeons canaccomplish this goal by removing excess skin, fat and stretch marks, along withtightening the underlying rectus muscles. Unfortunately, the six pack abdomen that’s associated with fitness andathleticism isn’t routinely created with tummy tuck surgery. The six pack abdomen occurs when thetendinous inscriptions within the rectus muscles are well defined. This requires well developed abdominalmuscles and a thin overlying layer of fat. Although abdominoplasty probably won’t create a six pack abdomen byitself, the combination of tummy tuck, exercise and diet will. For these reasons, abdominoplastysurgery always yields its best results when combined with diet andexercise. It’s important that youdiscuss this issue with your plastic surgeon before resuming aggressiveexercise routines. In some casescoordination with a personal trainer can facilitate this process.
6 PACK AFTER TUMMY TUCKThis is generally achievable depending on your body weight to start. Vaser liposuction is useful to get more hi=def in someone who is in good shape to begin with.
Assuming you keep a low body mass index, have relatively thin abdominal skin and subcutaneous layer and work out to develop your rectus muscles, you can get a six-pack. Usually the lateral border of the rectus, junction with the external oblique is visible. The six-pack is not created by the tummy tuck but would require the usual effort in muscle development to appear.
One common myth with tummy tuck surgery is that you are going to achieve a six pack. This is typically not the case. The operation is designed to remove excess skin and associated fatty tissue. A tummy tuck is designed to contour what you have and ensure your skin is tailored to fit your underlying body. A six pack requires two things -a well formed and defined six pack muscles. If you dont have those before surgery than surgery is not going to achieve that. - a very thin fatty layer or minimal fatty tissue. So basically the only way to have a six pack after surgery, is to train hard and have one before surgery.
To get a 6-pack you would have to have very minimal body fat, good muscle tone and little sagging excess skin. Patients who get a tummy tuck do not generally have this. After a tummy tuck, you would have more muscle definition but probably not to the point that you'd have a 6-pack if you didn't have one to start off with. It is not impossible, however, but it would be surprising if it did occur.
