Pregnancy and weight loss cause two major changes to women’s bellies:
- They can weaken your core muscles or your “six pack”
- They can also cause loose extra skin
A tummy tuck tightens the muscles and removes the extra skin. Recovery after tummy tuck is fairly straightforward. You’ll be back to driving your car after 1 to 2 weeks, and you’ll return to your everyday activities like yoga, Zumba or Crossfit as early as 6 weeks.
It’s so positive to witness the transformation a tummy tuck creates. Women feel like they’ve claimed their bodies back after the babies, after the exercise and all that hard work.
