I had a full tummy tuck and hernia repair in 2014. I've had a ledge in my lower abs since day one. No matter if I'm skinny or have extra fat - the ledge is there. I also have stubborn fat that stays even at my fittest.

Which would be more gratifying for my shape? I guess more desired result since I have to choose.
