Age 32/144lbs/5'5'' 2 pregnancies (2009, 2015). Lost 65 lbs over the last 2 1/2 years and happy with current weight. Will not be having any more children. My stomach and back are equally important to me. Planning for a tummy tuck but my back makes me the most uncomfortable in clothes. I don't know if what I'm seeing is loose skin or fat so I'm unsure if I need lipo or a bra line back lift. Thank you!
