Liposuction without tummy tuck? (Photo)

Ellie J
3 weeks from today, I'm scheduled for liposuction on my abdomen, hips, and outer thighs. I'm 44 and have had 2 C-sections, however I never did get strechmarks. Actually, after having my boys, I was 10lbs lighter than my high school/college weight with no loose skin. My question is, do I automatically need a tummy tuck because of my age and because I've had 2 kids? The reason I ask is because I feel like almost every review of a woman over 40 with kids says yes. My surgeon tells me no.
