Early Tummy Tuck/loose skin research - can skin be lifted close to under the breasts? (Photos)

Considerate622652
I’m an RN researching a tummy tuck. I’m smaller framed 5’2, 110 lbs, I had 3 pregnancies, no Csections. I don’t need muscle repair it’s pretty much skin. I don’t reallly want a super tight flat tummy, I’d like to look natural. Can skin be lifted Close to under the breasts just to remove skin? I did have an abdominal surgery that left a horizontal Scar next to my belly button. Thank you for your opinions and recs.
