Mini Tummy Tuck 1 Year Post, Needs Fixing?

anon239359Aug 6, 2013
Hello - I am 4' 11"/96 lbs. After two c-sections and a 10 lb baby, I wanted to fix the loose skin on my stomach. I was never overweight, worked out healthy and doctor claimed I was a perfect candidate for a mini tummy tuck since I had only loose skin. Now 1 year later, this is how my tummy tuck, it is worse than before where earlier I had only loose skin below but now my stomach looks disfigured. What are my options to fix this that is minimally invasive without having to spend a tons of $$$.
