Hi! I plan on getting a mommy makeover later this year. I have consultations coming up, but wanted other sources of reference as well. I am 130lbs , in my mid 30s, have had 3 children naturally, and lost over 100 pounds. I do cardio and toning multiple times a week. When researching tummy tucks, I’ve seen mixed results when seeing if Lipo is really needed with tummy tucks. I would really prefer not to have Lipo done, but am open to any rationals that would say why or why not Lipo is needed.
