Abdominoplasty or just excess skin removal? Length of scar? How would recovery affect my active lifestyle long term? (Photos)

Asked By:tksh10 in Kentucky, KY

I'm an active 33yo s/p two full term pregnancies, 5'3", 140 lbs. I realize nothing is better than a hands on exam, but after reviewing my photos, what is your initial impression? I feel no separation between my abdominal muscles, but I have a protrusion to my lower abdomen when upright. Abdominoplasty or could I get by with skin excision and maybe lipo? Also, would a scar extend from hip to hip? How would the recovery effect me long term as far as workouts? I CrossFit and powerlift.
