Hello, I’ve been told by a surgeon that I “absolutely need a full tummy tuck” because I’m a mother of two and I don’t have a csection scar. I’m not happy with this generalized assesmsnt. I’m on my ideal weight since a year (116lbs/5’2). I have very minor lower belly sagging, I only require minimal muscle repair in the lower abdomen and I’m not covered on stretch marks. My surgery goal is to “have a subtle athletic look with a flatter abdomen.” Is this not attainable with a smaller incision?
