Does cutting through muscle affect strength?

[Guest guest]

I have a client that has previously had a c-section, which cuts

through muscle. She thinks this effects her strength and thus why she

has a hard time with ab exercises. So does a surgery which cuts

through a muscle, such as a c-section or breast implants placed under

the muscle effect the strength of that muscle in anyway? Or does it

effect training in any other way? Any info appreciated, I am new to

training!
