Had twins, now my belly looks like shown. Considering ‘having it fixed’/improved. Not so much concerned about belly’s flatness (or lack thereof), it’s more the extra and torn skin I’d like to get rid of! Is it possible to fix this? Would that be a full TT, or mini? I keep reading a mini TT doesn’t do much/doesn’t take out enough skin, on the other hand I’ve seen those hip2hip scars from full TTs that .. aren’t overly pretty either. I do have a C-sec scar though, could the surgeon work w this?
Given the degree of muscle laxity and sikn excess both below and above teh bellly button, only a full tummy tuck will satisfy. The scar can be kept low at the current C-section level.

In addition to tuck, lipo was preformed although not sure it should have been as I was NOT over weight. I am 5'4 114 lbs and mostly was concerned about lax skin and diastisis. Following sx, I am not smooth. My stomach is lumpy and I have swelling near suture line. In addition I now have lax skin above belly button. Is this correctable? I have had one consult and was told I needed a full tummy tuck and I am not willing to do that. Is the lumpiness due to over lipo and will that fat redistribute?
Lumpiness and loose skin after mini tummy tuck can happen with oversuctioning, though inadequate skin reduction is more often the cause. It is correctable with a full tummy tuck to address the upper abdominal skin excess.

Im 27 years old, 5'1, small built and my ideal weight is 105 lbs, after my 2nd baby my belly blew up and gotten stretch marks that i never had from my 1st pregnancy, im very unhappy with the way my body turned out, after a year and a half ive gained 20 lbs and i still look like im pregnant and i work out 2-3 days a week and still not losing weight, what should i do?
The question concerning tummy tuck begins with an assessment of the laxity in the abdominal skin. Liposuction will contour the abdomen though sometimes at the price of further skin laxity. Based on your photos you have a lower abdominal fold which would best respond to a full tummy tuck, with liposuction over the hip. Your first step is weight control.
Best of luck,
