This lower belly bulge seems impossible to remove. Am I a candidate for a mini tummy tuck? (Photos)

AppleBerry1552
I’m female, 33 years old, 5’5” and weigh 130 lbs. I’ve had two kids and now have extra skin in my lower abdomen. I do have extra skin above my belly button but I don’t really care all that much about that. I’ve been going to the gym and this lower belly bulge seems impossible to remove. I don’t want a full tummy tuck. I have a stressful job plus young kids and I just can’t go through a recovery that intense. Is there any chance for a mini tummy tuck with a shorter recovery?
