I am 5’4 and 110 pounds(i previously was 142 like 8 years ago). I have an arrow shaped/ frowning bellybutton that I really don’t like. I have done lipo consultations and they said that I have some loose skin but they could get rid of the fat in the area, but it might not make the shape better. I have also seen a lot of lipo patients where their belly button is more horizontal after lipo. I asked about a mini tummy tuck but both doctors didn’t feel like i had enough skin to justify it & most of my skin laxity looks like it’s above my bellybutton. I have seen doctors not in the US that do sole umbilicoplastys to change the shape of the bellybutton, but would that help? I have also seen floating navel tummy tucks, and I like those because my bellybutton is really high on my stomach as well. Would an umbilicoplasty help in this case? Or the floating navel tummy tuck? I like how my bellybutton looks when i arch my back and stretch out my stomach, so ideally if there is a way for it to look vertical like that, that would be best (but i’m unsure if possible).
