Saggy belly skin after pregnancy
Perfect candidate for tummy tuck
Congrats on losing the baby weight – sounds like you’ve done all that you can. You are a perfect candidate for a tummy tuck with repair of your muscles that got stretched out with your pregnancy. My recommendation is to choose the plastic surgeon that gets the best results.
There are lots of gimmicks and non-board-certified surgeons out there that need to sound flashy to get you to choose them. Stick with a board certified plastic surgeon who has great before and afters! (J. Garrett Harper, MD, Charlotte Plastic Surgeon)
In addition to stretched out skin, pregnancy also produces loose abdominal muscles. This is because the two central vertical muscles (the ones that can produce a six-pack) have become separated. You will need a full tummy tuck in order to sew the edges of those muscles back together. kind of like an internal corset!

The excess skin and fatty tissue is removed and the belly button is repositioned. I would also liposuction your back “muffin tops” to give you an overall slimming result. Make sure you do your research and choose a doctor who is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Visit doctor photos. When evaluating a surgeon’s after photos, it is important to see photos that show the scar after surgery (not the ones that are covered up). Do realize that these scars fade over time. Evaluate the results by the contour that is achieved afterwards and by how the belly button appears. (Cecilia Franco-Webb, MD, Denver Plastic Surgeon)
What you need now is a full tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks. All of the liposuction I do when doing a tummy tuck is included in the price. (Peter Fisher, MD, San Antonio Plastic Surgeon)

I think the best option for you would be a full tummy tuck. I think liposuction would leave you with even more loose skin and a min tummy tuck would leave your upper abdomen with loose skin. (Julio Garcia, MD, Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon)
Your only option is a tummy tuck. Nothing else can resolve the issues you are showing in your photos. You should have a great result as the rest of you is in great shape. Please seek a board certified plastic surgeon for a consult. (Shim Ching, MD, Honolulu Plastic Surgeon)
Based on your pictures, it appears that you have loose stomach muscles as well as loose skin. Your best option would be a full tummy tuck where the excess skin can be removed and the stomach muscles tightened.
The surgery is done on an outpatient basis. The trade-off would be a scar that goes hip-to-hip across the lower aspect of your stomach and around your belly button.

Still, I think you would be very happy with the results of this surgery. Your photo strongly suggests that you need a tummy tuck with liposuction at the sides. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. (Edwin C. Pound, III, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)

You would benefit most from a full tummy tuck. This is the only way to remove the excess skin. Liposuction of your hips would also define your waistline a little more as well. Liposuction alone on your tummy will only make the skin look looser. (Donald Griffin, MD, Nashville Plastic Surgeon)
You are an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. If possible, see if your doctor performs the “Hollywood Tummy Tuck.” That’s an advanced technique that does not need drains at the end of the procedure. This is important because the drains are not only annoying, they can also be painful. Without the drains, you will be walking around more right away; showering 24 hours post-op; going out in public right away; and overall enjoy a more pleasant and quick recovery. (Victor Ferrari, MD, FACS, Charlotte Plastic Surgeon)
A full abdominoplasty will do a great job of flattening your tummy. (Joel Patrick Maier, MD, Cincinnati Plastic Surgeon)
