Asked By:clucero in Corona, CA

I received a tummy tuck three years go and no lipo was preformed. It really bothers me and make me look like I have wider hips or major hip dips. I originally wanted he BBL was told I had i do the tummy tuck first. I'm not 100 happy and have the longest scar. It's almost to inches past my hip bone.
