I'm 22 and have had two children via C section. I was considering a tummy tuck (especially after just having my breasts done) as I always look bloated and despite best efforts in working out. My stomach remains the same. If I'm laying down or leaning back I have this protruding thing above my belly button? I should note aswell, I had an inguinal (spelling? Groin) hernia that I had repaired when I was 14 years old, it would pop out like a golf ball after any small movements
