Tummy tuck: A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the lower half of your abdomen, giving you a flatter stomach with less fat. It also tightens the abdominal muscles that have been loosened by pregnancy. The scar is at the bikini line and around the belly button. Recovery is 4-6 weeks, although many people go back to work after 2-3 weeks. You have to wear an abdominal binder for at least a month.

Understand options: The best procedure depends on several factors. Liposuction only removes fat and it depends on intact elastic skin and good underlying musculature to achieve a satisfactory outcome. A mini tumy tuck will treat lax skin or scar as well as widened muscles below the belly button. If you have either of the latter conditions, a mini tummy tuck may be a better option for you.
