Probably a mini-abdominoplasy or a full abdominoplasty

Alexander M. Guba, MD answers: Best skin tightening treatment for post-pregnancy belly?

What is the best tightening treatment or device for sagging post-pregnancy belly? It's not a fat issue, just excess thin skin that appears quite unsightly.

There really is no best way to do this. It just depends on the condition of the various components of the abdominal wall: muscle, fat and skin. Also, the proportion of intra-abdominal fat needs to be assessed, which, of course, is not approached by abdominoplasty. Smart Lipo can only improve minimal skin laxity.
