Can I Get 6-Pack Abs After Tummy Tuck?

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.
