Changing Belly Button Shape w/ Lipo

March 16, 2011
Asked By:cxv in Vancouver

I'm 21, female, thin. My concern is excess fat above my belly button that makes it look gaping and cavernous and saggy. I'm hoping to get lipo in that area, which will definitely help. The picture I attached gives an accurate idea of what I mean. My waist is 26 inches at 5'10; I don't need to lose weight. I dislike that my belly button points *down*. Could my surgeon maybe improvise something to tweak that? Or is it always by the book? I'm not really put off by some scarring.
