After my second child, I had lipo in the abdomen area. At the consult, Dr. Stevens asked me about what I was hoping for and spent a lot of time discussing wether to a tummy tuck, too, and he gave me great advice: If you want to model bikinis, great, but if you want a flat stomach profile, you don't need it and he also pointed out that since my kids were normal deliveries, I had no scars on my stomach and that was good reason to think long and hard before adding one. It has been 10 years since my lip and I am still happy.
