Mommy Makeover

So I'm older. I've had kids. I looked into a "Mommy Makeover". Not sure I would like the whole thing but the abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) looks very promising as last baby and I had issues and he stretched and stretched and stretched my belly out. I have extra skin and stretch marks. I'm at about 127 now and even if I don't drop a bunch more I'm pretty OK with my size but when I wear a bikini it really shows. I'm also considering an upper lid procedure because my upper lids are "full" (they actually touch my eyelashes) and while it doesn't bother me aesthetically it drives me crazy when I'm running because they swell so much my vision is impaired. Anyone with experience with the procedures? Any other mommies out there considering the abdominoplasty? I've researched both procedures extensively but I'm kind of on the fence...

I had a friend who had it done and regretted it. She was left with a belly button scar that required additional cosmetic surgery. She still refuses to wear bikinis. I eventually plan on having my extra skin removed, but the scar will be low and doesn't require them to ensure the fat is distributed well.

I don't require any liposuction. I'm fine with my size. I'm a runner so I stay pretty "shapely" and always have been pretty OK with my overall look. But would be nice not to have to wear "strategic" bikinis (if that makes any kind of weird sense).
