Leave it alone

Tummy tuck

Your abs are awesome. You definitely do not need a tummy tuck. I would also advise against the umbilicoplasty.

You are not by any chance just fishing for compliments, are you?

Thank you for all your feedback and for the compliments that surprised me very much, definitely wasn't expecting any. My wrinkly belly button got very ugly after my pregnancies and I thought It could look pretty again. :^D Not at all Dr. Edelson, compliments was the last thing I thought I was going to get as response but thank you for them!
