Im 31 years old and have two children. I have a small amount of skin sagging underneath my navel. I have been researching tummy tucks but I think the scare is worse then the sagging. Is it possible to get laser treatment for minimal skin sagging? I am a non smoker and I have been in the best shape of my life for well over a year now. Would I be a good candidate? Is there such non invasive treatment out there? Help!
