Tummy Tuck Revision for Muscles Still Lax

dor
How soon after a full tummy tuck with muscle tightening is it safe to do revision for lax muscle?I have a tummy that looks 3-4mths pregnant. When i pull in its flat as a pancake but when pushed out its so big. I consult a PS he says little fat under skin that not an issue. I am 5"7" 155lbs. Always working out very good and discpline eating habits so whats wrong. My regular PS told me to wear a pair of spanx when going out. I need a feedback please about the pros and cons of this procudure.
