Does it look like I have a hernia or diastasis recti? (Photos)

Saydeechan
Hi, I had a lipo 360 and bbl at AirSculpt on 8/2. Initially, I also wanted to get a mini tuck. However, since I’ve lost alot of weight and there’s only so much fat she can extract from me, and she cannot go too aggressive on the lipo on the abdomen if I opt for mini tuck, and recovery will be too tough since I was also getting a bbl. So she suggested to lipo 360 first with skin tightening. I am pleased with the natural result only if I have my garment on. But as expected, i am left with saggy skin and mh abdomen bulges out. I know that I may need a full tummy tuck. But I’ve heard hernia repair in the abdomen often comes with muscle separation repair as well which is covered by the insurance. I believe I do have a hernia from my gastric sleeve surgery. Could you tell by the picture if I may have a hernia and or muscle separation?
