Ab workouts never again after tummy tuck?

happy2324
After my tummy tuck my doctor told me I could start ab workouts 6-12 months after my procedure, but then proceeded to say she knows a plastic surgeon who never allows their patients to do them again, I felt, hinting I shouldn’t. Is there a reason that would be the case? Is this common or sometimes the case? I did ab workouts regularly before.
