What does it mean to not have enough skin for a tummy tuck? (Photos)

And please elaborate on skin elasticity? I’m 24, 5’1”, 170lbs, and had 2 children. I went in for my first ever plastic surgery consultation requesting tummy tuck with lipo. I was told I didn’t have enough skin for a tummy tuck, which I don’t understand. He talked about my skin elasticity, fat thickness, and liposuction being better for me than a tummy tuck. I was surprised by his recommendation because my stretch marks and cellulite post pregnancy make me feel like my skin isn’t elastic?
