Was told I don't have enough loose skin, am I a good candidate for a full mommy makeover or can I only get liposuction? (photos)

Hi Kind83836,
Your abdomen skin has multiple stretch marks, and likely has lost elasticity. Liposuction works best when the skin is very elastic, and can rebound/tighten after underlying fat is removed. With the quality of skin shown in the picture, I'd be worried that liposuction would produce more loose skin.
In addition, the upper abdominal bulging seen on the side view is likely weakness/separation in your six pack muscles, which can be fixed with plication (tightening)--something done during tummy tuck that cannot be done with liposuction.
If you weren't happy with the first consultation, I'd suggest going to the second you have lined up.
Hope this helps!

Your photos indicate that you have stretch marks and loose skin, therefore a full tummy tuck may be the most suitable option for you.

Yes, you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Best Wishes,
