How to fix my belly button? (Photo)

Question

Female - 34 years old Ive had this crease in my stomach through my bellybutton ever since I was a kid. I was overweight most of my life until I lost a ton of weight around the age of 24 (I walked a ton when living in NYC). Ive maintained that weight loss for 10 years. No matter how much I workout or lose weight, this stomach crease doesnt go away. I want my bellybutton to look less...horizontal. What procedure do I need to fix this?

You have extra abdominal wall skin.  You would be a candidate for a tummy tuck, possibly a mini tummy tuck.

Best Wishes,

Dear smallscle,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
