Mini Tummy Tuck
The Slim Lipo is not enough to contract the loose skin. A mini TT may be enough. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and they will guide you through the decision of mini TT or full TT.

Mini Tummy Tuck or Liposuction?
Neither of the proposed operations will give you a satisfactory result.
Liposuction will lead you with loose/irregular skin and an unsatisfactory cosmetic result
In my opinion, the mini tummy talk is an operation that produces very limited results and is very rarely indicated. It involves a shorter incision but does not address the majority of the abdominal wall issues present for most patients who present consultation. For example, the area of skin excised is quite...

Mini tummy tuck after multiple C-sections
A mini tummy tuck is a safe and effective procedure that can create a more contoured abdomen, a tight waist and a beautiful figure.
In our practice your Miami, we have many many patients that have received abdominal contouring after childbirth and C-sections. We love working with these patients because they're terrific moms but also because the C-section provides an opportunity to improve the scar and give the patient a beautiful result. If the patient does not have skin damage...

Tummy tuck best after C-sections and loose skin
Though no one can give definitive advice based only on a picture, it appears very unlikely that any brand of liposuction with or without the laser would tighten the skin enough. Some version of a tummy tuck, mini or more likely full, is going to give a better result. Your existing C-section scar would be used.

Liposuction or tummy tuck
If you have loose skin, it will only get looser after liposuction. You may be better off with a full tummy tuck but I couldn't be sure without an exam.

Post-pregnancy problems - how to fix.
Thank you for submitting a photo. After pregnancy, there are two issues that need to be addressed to achieve a nice contour to the abdomen. The skin itself may be stretched and those stretch marks can only be removed by excision. The larger issue is the underlying separation of the muscles. This leads to bulging which many women think is purely fat. The bulging is repaired in a tummy tuck by bringing the muscles back together in the midline of the abdomen. This eliminates the bulge and can...

Your best option is a tummy tuck, not liposuction.
Your photos show that for the best result you should consider a full tummy tuck, with repair of the muscles and removal of the excess skin. This will firm up the foundation of your abdomen so when the excess skin is pulled down and trimmed off, you will have a flat stomach with as much of the stretch marks as possible removed. Liposuction can not achieve as good a result as your skin quality is not what it was prior to the 2 pregnancies and liposuction only removes fat,...

Have you finished having babies?
At the expense of being nosey, I always ask a lady whether she has further pregnancy plans because while it's possible to carry a baby to full term with a tummy tuck, the results will invariably be "undone". I agree with the other consultants that a full tummy tuck +/- lipo would achieve your objectives of making your tummy flat and eliminating the majority of your stretch marks, however you should also consider whether you want another baby, before signing up for...

Abdominal contouring after 2 c-sections
After 2 sections, to improve your tummy contour, you will most likely require a full tummy tuck +/- lipo of your waist. A tummy tuck (also called abdominoplasty) is a very popular cosmetic surgery procedure for Moms. A tummy tuck can be an effective tool for shaping and sculpting the body for better body appearance and improved self esteem.
Sometimes no amount of diet and exercise can create a flat tummy. Tummy tuck plastic surgery actually tightens abdominal muscles and...
