From the photos submitted it appears the best procedure to address your concerns is a standard tummy tuck.  This will address excess skin and fat as well as correct any abdominal wall laxity.  The result will be a flatter, tighter tummy.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

A mini TT involves removal of a small amount of skin and fat below the belly button that addresses only the lower portion of the abdomen. No plication or muscle tightening is performed and belly button remains attached and unchanged. This procedure applies to very few patients and is appropriate only for patients who have loose skin at the inferior aspect, or bottom, of the abdomen. If patients have loose skin above the belly button or a muscle laxity, a short scar or full TT would be more appropriate. A physical exam would be necessary to determine what procedure is most appropriate for you to achieve the results you are seeking.

Dear Powerful848958,
it depends on your skin laxity for which I would need to examine you. In general, liposuction does not help with skin laxity and a tummy tuck is the best option in this scenario. A mini tummy tuck can work great for laxity below the umbilicus but generally does not improve the area above the belly button.

You need to be examined to see what a mini tuck can do. A full tuck will give you a tighter abdomen. Please meet with a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options.
