Tummy Tuck in Very Thin Fit Woman Mother of Three?

June 4, 2012
Asked By:latina in Tampa, Florida

I am 5.4" 110 pounds . I do have loosen skin under and above belly button - only noticeable if I squeeze my belly with my hands or if I seat down. My doctor said he could use my c- section scar but I would gain a new belly button and he would have to make a 2cm vertical incision above the horizontal one. I never heard of this. Can't find anything on the Internet about it. The doctor said it would be something between full nd mini tummy tuck. Any thoughts ?
