What can I do to fix above my belly button? (Photo)

Question

I recently lost 80 lbs. I've been actively working out and eating healthy (currently 130 lbs 5-07). I have this area above my belly button that has looked deflated ever since losing weight. Is there any procedures that would help? It's just this area.

Unfortunately, your photos are inadequate.  However, there is a breast lift procedure that also pulls the upper abdominal skin up and this may solve your problem.  I would need photographs of your breasts to see if you would be a candidate for this procedure.

Best Wishes,

Dear schil,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Based on this limited info, it appears that combination of liposuction and "floating" belly button type of abdominoplasty, with limited scar, would be one of options. In person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon, is recommended.
