Q: Lipo or tummy tuck to get rid of the skin below my belly button?
A:
It is difficult to say for sure without examining you, but based on the fact that you have had 2 pregnancies, it is likely that you have laxity of your rectus muscles as well as loose skin. Smart lipo does tighten the skin somewhat, but based on the photo you provided, I doubt that it would tighten the amount of skin you have there to the point that you would be satisfied with the result. A mini tummy tuck may be all you need, with a scar just a little longer then the C-section scar you already have.
