Will my Loose "Wrinkled" Skin Tighten 5 Weeks After Tummy Tuck?
I am 5 wks post tummy tuck. Will the skin around my belly button tighten up? It looks really wrinkled and has extra skin on top of the belly button, I feel others who are 5 wks out look much better than I do. I also have a little lumptiness to my stomach. will this go away? please help, nervous!

Mini tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) DOES NOT treat loose upper abdominal skin
I agree with the others. Based on your photograph it appears that you had a mini tummy tuck.

Mini-Tummy Tuck with/without Liposuction CANNOT correct loose Tummy Skin ABOVE Belly Button
Sorry about your result. It appears you had either a Mini Timmy Tuck with or without a Liposuction (no scar around the Belly Button).
