Visceral fat or distasis recti? Would I get a great result with a tummy tuck revision? (Photo)

mannmnJun 28, 2022
I had a tummy tuck 10 years ago and have since had 2 babies, both over 9 pounds. My belly still looks like im pregnant but there is not much fat there. I have spoken to several doctors. Some say I would get a great result from a tummy tuck revision. Others say I have too much visceral fat to get a good result. I am confused.
