What do I need? 133lbs, 5’4” 39yr old mom of 5 ten pound babies. Tummy tuck? (photo)

Asked By:bmh4796 in New Orleans, Louisiana

I’m not sure what I need. I just want my clothes to fit better. It would be really nice to wear a 2piece again, but my horror show belly will likely not look well enough to see the light of day even after surgery :( I could stand to lose 6lbs to be at my ideal perfect weight, but I’m not overweight. My belly is just a wreck from such large babies. And I have an umbilical hernia and prolapsed everything. So I’m not even sure what type of doctor to go to? Could I combine surgeries at once?
