Do I have visceral fat or diastasis recti after two pregnancies? Would a tummy tuck even help? (photos)

Asked By:Jenn234 in Houston, TX

I had lipo 6 years ago. Since then I have gone through 2 pregnancies and I did gain 40 lbs with both. The weight left everywhere but my middle, and I still look 6 mos pregnant two years after my last pregnancy. My question is--do I just have an inordinate amount of visceral fat that has accumulated in that time, or is this caused by a diastasis recti situation? Not a lot of pinchable fat, mostly just loose skin. My stomach does come to a cone however when I sit up. Would a tummy tuck even help?
