I'm an 18-year-old female who is about 5' 3" and 125 pounds. Over the years I've developed a really unattractive line on my stomach from sitting. Part of it does have to do with my posture, but my body fat doesn't help things either. This line bugs me to no end. What is the best way for me to deal with this?
Answer: Persistent stomach crease These creases are natural folds caused by skin attachments to the underlying muscle that are made worse by postural changes and or fatty deposits above and below. Once the crease is established, it is nearly impossible to eliminate but it can be improved via alterations in your posture and weight loss. Surgery is not recommended as the first line of attack.

Answer: Crease line on stomach? Thank you for the question. I think that you have answered your question yourself; best to address postural concerns and achieve your long-term stable weight (through diet and exercise). Doing so, it is likely that you will not need the services of a plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Stomach crease That is a natural skin crease which cannot be totally removed. It can be made less apparent with liposuction above and below (full abdomen).An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Liposuction Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. You may be a candidate for liposuction. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
