Should I Get a Mini Tummy Tuck or a Full? is There Any Non Surgical Options for Me?

So I had a baby 3 years ago and this completely ruined my stomach. I am 21 years old, I exercise regularly and have been trying EVERYTHING to get rid of this. Before pregnancy I was 115 lbs, I ended up weighing 180 lbs the day before delivery. Finally down to 133 lbs I am about ready to be able to wear a bikini. Is there any other options then surgery for me? I plan on having this done by june so please let me know soon!

Abdominal contour after childbirth

Thanks for your question. Based on your photo you have typical abdominal wall and skin changes post-pregnancy. You may have a separation of your abdominal wall muscles, have stretch marks above and below the umbilicus and you have some adiposity around the belly button. Typically this combination is best treated with a full abdominoplasty and muscle plication. Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss these issues in depth as well as discuss potential treatment. I hope this helps.
