How important is staying fit after a tummy tuck?

If you have recently had abdominoplasty surgery and want to maintain your firm, well-contoured abdomen, West County Plastic Surgeons recommends above all staying fit after a tummy tuck. Doing so can prevent weight gain that could adversely affect surgical results. Beyond maintaining an attractive physique, regular exercise has numerous health benefits that will help you feel as good as you look.
