Can I get a tummy tuck a year after lipo? Would I need a full tummy tuck? (Photo)

srn0128Mar 26, 2022
I had lipo of Dec 21 & had some skin laxity. I am wanting a tummy tuck to correct, however a little anxious and nervous. Would I need a full tummy tuck? I definitely can feel the separation between my abs from having a child in 2017, so I know that would probably be a yes. My question is, with my amount of loose skin or even lack of, would a tummy tuck be worth it? I just want my ab definition to come through again.
