Will lipo 360 and a mini tummy tuck be enough to give me a snatched and flat foundation? (Photos)

Persistent667506Jan 29, 2026

22 year old, height 5’4, weight 116(last time i checked) I am at my pre pregancy weight(I was 143 during my second pregnancy. I don’t want the full tummy tuck because the scar isnt in my favor being hip to hip. I honestly just want my hip fat gone so that my waist can be even(and my lower back since it kinda wraps around that entire midsection. Also i have either fat or skin on my upper back where my bra line would be.
