You should recognize the skin laxity continuous beyond just the front of your abdomen and so an extended tummy tuck is probably going to be needed. I don’t think you have a significant amount of subcutaneous fat and I don’t think visceral fat is an issue in your case. it looks to me like skin laxity is by far the biggest problem and probably second variable is muscle separation from previous pregnancies.
