I previously posted about the desire to possibly have a tummy tuck. I am 36 5'8, 156lbs and 20% body fat. I had a c section 13 years ago and have had trouble getting my six pack back despite hiit, strength, circuit and weight training 5 days a week along with a diet that excludes beef, pork, fried foods, breads and pastas and dairy. I am reposting my question because 2 of the pictures that i provided showed me in a very bloated state and want to get/give the most realistic explanation possible.
Answer: Abdomen Just based on your photos, I think liposuction of the abdomen and flanks might do much better with much less down time and scarring.

Answer: Considering options Based on the submitted photos and description you appear to be a better candidate for a standard (full) tummy tuck. This will remove excess subcutaneous fat and skin as well as address abdominal wall laxity that is common after pregnancy. You can add liposuction for contouring if desired. The result will be a flatter, tighter tummy. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Mini TT candidate? Mini-abdominoplasty tightens the lower abdominal wall muscles and removes redundant skin below the umbilicus, belly button, only. The shortest scar technique leaves a scar at the pubic hair line. Liposuction may be used alone or in conjunction with a tummy tuck to benefit selected patients ‘Mini” tummy tucks can benefit patients who have a small amount of excess skin and fat or protruding of the lower abdomen. This operation may be done under local anesthesia with sedation, on an outpatient basis.

Many board certified plastic surgeons provide a free first time consult and you should take advantage of that!

Answer: Thinking about a Mini TT I don't think a mini TT would give you the best outcome. You appear as if a full TT is prudent. Make sure you seek a board certified plastic surgeon in your area when you're ready to get an educated opinion on your options. Best of Luck!

Answer: Thinking about a mini tummy tuck? Please make sure that you have chosen the right operation (an operation that will achieve an outcome that you will be pleased with); is not unusual for patients to undergo mini tummy tuck surgery only to be disappointed… Be careful with your decision-making. Best wishes.
