Asked By:priss12 in Mcallen, TX

I only weight 118 but after my pregnancy my stomach looks bloated. I have and umbilical hernia and strech marks. I don't have a lot of loose skin. Can I get a lipo and will this work or I need a tummy tuck? My gynecologist told me to wait after having kids in order to get a tummy tuck. Will the lipo help my at all?
