Lisa, a tummy tuck could definitely target the problem areas that you are describing. It is a better option for you than liposuction because a tummy tuck can remove the excess skin caused from birthing three children. A tummy tuck does however, result with a large scar when compared to liposuction. The scar is usually below the bikini line. Fair skinned individuals tend to heal with more discrete scars; where as people with darker skin sometimes have the tendency to form keloids. A keloid (dark, bulky scar), is a collection of fibrous repair tissue that may extend away from the surgical incision. As for the cost of the procedure, it varies with different surgeons

I am determined to have a tummy tuck, I need to know how I go about getting prices and ora payment plan if possible. I have three kids and i'm to young to feel this old.
My confidence level will be so much healthier
