Can You Lift the Tummy Instead of Doing a Tuck?

Fiona2012
I'm 47 and very fit but have a bit of a pooch below my navel. I don't want a tummy tuck. I had two babies but my stomach went back to being flat. Just the past couple of years I've been getting a little bulge – I feel like it's being caused by gravity and fair, thin skin. If I pull up my skin from below my breasts my stomach is flat. Meanwhile, I would also like to have breast augmentation done. I keep thinking, couldn't the surgeon just pull up the skin when I get the BA? Is this possible?
