I have excess skin below my belly button which is my main concern. I also previously had liposuction 2 years ago which left me with bumpy skin above my belly button.. what can I do to fix that? I want something less invasive than a full tummy tuck and am looking into having a mini. Is there anything non-surgical I can do about the bumpy skin above my belly button and the excess skin? Or is a mini tummy tuck the only option for the excess skin? Thank you

Thank you for your question.
Based on the photos provided, you may warrant a revision. Although swelling will diminish over time creating a flatter contour to the abdomen, the excess skin may still remain. I recommend speaking to your plastic surgeon to discuss your options and concerns.
It sounds like you have specific aesthetic goals, and it's great that you're considering non-invasive to least invasive options. It's important to note that specific recommendations and possibilities will depend on your individual anatomy, health, and goals. Here are some potential options, but...
It appears from your photos that you still have swelling. Final results for a tummy tuck are seen 9-12 months after surgery, but the majority of the swelling is gone before then. I encourage you to visit with your surgeon about your concerns. Lymphatic massage may be helpful.
