A full tummy tuck involves muscle tightening and skin removal.Another pregnancy will stretch the tightened muscle.Skin can be re tucked as it needs especially if there is alteration in your weight.
It looks like that by taking out a little more skin that your problem would be taken care of. In person consultation with your surgeon would help to determine if this would be a good idea. They can discuss the risks and benefits.Good luck,Dr. T
