Had bad lipo. Can a tummy tuck correct this?

April freschiOct 26, 2018
I have had lipo twice in 7 years. The upper stomach and lower are now lumpy. I never has had children and would love to have this done. I think the scar would be better then a stomach that is not good to look at. Also my belly button is now destroyed. I did try skin tightening procedures did not work.
