Can a tummy tuck with muscle repair cause long term discomfort/tightness and if so is there any way to alleviate this tightness?

I am 50 yrs old, 1 year post op from a TT with MR and have daily discomfort due to feelings of tightness which is worse with activity. Movement makes abs feel like they are” hardening up”. Exercise is uncomfortable/difficult due to this tightness. I also often feel like my muscles are being stretched from top to bottom right down the middle. I often feel “pressure” on my lower abdominal area (like they are being pushed in too much or I am wearing tight jeans). Can anything relieve this?
