Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for an abdominoplasty to get rid of excess skin. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

Best results, tightest abdomen would be full tummy tuck- can do without muscle repair for quicker recovery.

This will best address belly button and skin above as well as below. Unfortunately, weight loss does not always leave skin tight and tummy tuck best option.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

Based on your series, a very nicely posted photos. There is a flap of skin in the lower abdomen, but also there is wrinkle skin throughout the complete abdomen. If you wish the flat smooth, looking result, then you need a full tummy tuck with muscle repair. That fee could range from $8000-$15,000. A mini tummy tuck would only remove the lower flap and not affect any skin throughout the abdomen that fee would be $4000. Best virtual concert with regards

A mini tummy tuck will not accomplish delivering a good outcome.
You need a full tummy tuck.
If you don’t have a previous pregnancies, then muscle tightening is not necessary.
Schedule a few in person consultations with plastic surgeons in your community
Best,
