Am I candidate for liposuction? Any other suggestions besides a tummy tuck? (photos)

August 30, 2022
Asked By:MomMaMommy3 in Birmingham, Alabama

I’ve had 3 c-sections in the last 5 years and have some abdominal separation that I’m currently working on with PT. I know that a tummy tuck is the ideal procedure for my body but I would prefer to opt out of it due to the increased downtime & recovery. I am not expecting a perfect outcome but would just like it to look less outward, preferably flat.. even if there is skin leftover. If not liposuction are there any other suggestions besides a tummy tuck?
