I have had 4 babies. I have wrinkled skin around my belly button. Would a laser procedure or Thermage help me at all? (Photo)

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I love using thermitight on this and following the procedure with either thermage or venus legacy.  You can get profound tightening without surgery. I suggest speaking to an expert about options.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question.  Personally, I would not recommend the use of lasers, thermal or any other noninvasive treatment for patients  in your position who wish to see a significant change.  As you know, your abdominal wall changes are related to pregnancy; significant loss of skin elasticity, spreading of the abdominal wall muscles, and a possible peri umbilical hernia, are best addressed with a tummy tuck operation. Keep in mind, that even a full tummy, operation will not completely remove the "wrinkled skin" ( that skin above the umbilicus).  Please do not waste your time/resources on heavily marketed, noninvasive technology you will  undoubtedly hear  about. Best wishes.

I love using Thermage to tighten the skin in the abodminal area.  It is a great non-invasive way to improve the appearance without any down time.  An in person consultation is really the only way to see if you would be a good candidate. Please consult a board certified dermatologist who has expertise in Thermage for the best cosmetic results.

Baruch Jacobs, MD, FACS · Answer

thermage would definitely help you tighten your skin, but you also seem to have an umbilical hernia which may need surgery to repair.
