C-section shelf - Mini tuck, full tummy tuck, lipo, or scar revision? (Photos)

raniung13
I had 2 kids both via c-section. 36 female, with a bmi of 25. My main concern is the c-shelf. I am unhappy with the bulging there no matter how much weight I lose. I am not sure if I should do Mini tuck, full tummy tuck, or just lipo or a scar revision. I read that a scar revision might release the bulge.
