Asked By:amhall123 in Raleigh, North Carolina

I am tiny probably the most petite person anyone would meet. 5’2” 109 lbs at my heaviest besides 2 pregnancies. I have a tiny hernia in the UR corner of belly button and a significant ledge of skin above existing c section scar. I am flat in the morning and bulge after eating throughout the day. Would a full muscle tightening with floating umbilicus and mini skin tuck work for me? To repair hernia, lose the skin ledge, and lessen bulge that occurs by end of day?
