I recommend a lipoabdominoplasty. In my experience, when individuals like yourself have an upper abdominal horizonal crease with redundant skin above it, there is actually a fair amount of skin to pull down once the crease is correctly released during the tummy tuck. You appear to have a fair amount of muscle separation which is not unusual after 4 children. That can only be fixed with a tummy tuck. I do a more complex muscle repair than the classic vertical diastasis repair. My repair tends to give a better correction of the muscle laxity and gives you a nice low scar.

I recommend getting the tummy tuck first if you are planning to do a two-stage procedure. Doing the Lipo/BBL first creates a tremendous amount of scar tissue beneath the skin that makes a future tummy tuck challenging. You are a perfect candidate for a tummy tuck. Alternatively, you could have a combo procedure (VASERlipo360, tummy tuck, hip fat grafting) at the same time which I do very frequently.
