We encourage all of our tummy tuck patients to exercise regularly to keep their abdominal muscles toned and tight. Doing so can help maintain the surgery. At West County Plastic Surgeons, we encourage all of our tummy tuck patients to exercise regularly to keep their abdominal muscles toned and tight. Doing so can help maintain surgical results, as long as patients don't gain weight.
If they do, the extra weight can stretch the skin and tissues that have been repaired, causing damage and new stretch marks. Regular exercise can burn calories and boost a person's metabolism, so we encourage our patients to stay in shape after a tummy tuck. Toning the abdomen after tummy tuck requires patience and care. You should wait for the first few weeks to incorporate core strengthening exercises.
Consistent exercise and a healthy diet will help you achieve a toned abdomen. A tummy tuck can create a soft, toned midsection, but maintaining those results requires effort. Squats and sit-ups can strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles, but they can't eliminate the belly fat and loose skin that are often responsible for bulging your abdomen.
