I’m 40 years old, and have had 3 babies (vaginally) over the last 4 years. I’m very thankful to not have any stretch marks and my skin for the most part is still tight on my stomach area. However, I have an obvious significant bulge, and sometimes after eating I almost look pregnant again! I do have 2nd degree uterine, bladder and rectal prolapse as confirmed by my Gyn. I’m currently 5’7, 122 odd and have always been thin. Do I need a full or mini TT, or something else?

Answer: Full or mini tuck Though your photos indicate that the majority of your abdominal wall laxity is below your belly button, you likely have some muscle separation above as well. If that is true, a full tummy tuck would best address this. If the muscle wall is only corrected below the belly button this can make the upper protrusion more obvious and lead to an unwanted contour. A quick exam by a board certified plastic surgeon should give you that answer. I've included a video on this topic that I hope you find helpful
