Are there any non surgical options for someone with a deep stomach crease who is thin? What causes this? Is Kybella an option?

In truth, non-surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, Cellutone/Zwave. However, for best results, a Tummy Tuck procedure can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time. For best results, I recommend VASER HI-DEF Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion, InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello. Your stomach looks very well, and I don't think you may need any treatment. Everybody has creases in this area. Anyhow, you could try an aesthetic procedure to remove fat deposits. Kybella is an option, but also you could try laser treatment or cool sculpting. Consult an experienced physician in your area for an in-person exam. Good luck!

I would definitely suggest Thermage for the abdominal area to tighten the remaining skin and Coolsculpting for the tiny budge of fat.  There is a special applicator that lies the stomach and has great results.  Please consult an expert in Thermage and Coolsculpting for the best cosmetic results.

The contour of the abdomen is made up primarily of the muscular skeletal structures.  Secondary to that is how the skin drives the body including various areas of connective tissue bands that anchor the skin to the underlying muscle fascia.  The single line on your lower abdomen  most likely represents a combination of these connective tissue bands anchoring the skin to the underlying muscle fascia together with a skin crease  that has become accentuated due to the fact that this is where the skin naturally folds in a sitting position.  My first and foremost recommendation is reassurance and to let you know you have a beautiful body and you should leave this alone and except that all bodies have small areas that are unique to each individual.  There's nothing wrong with you. Lots of women have lots of small idiosyncrasies of their body.  This is not something that has anything to do with weight, diet or exercise.  I would absolutely avoid fat removal especially by injecting Kybella. Doing so has a high chance of leaving you disfigured.  You could try injecting fillers just below or into the skin surface.  If this gives good results then you could try very careful fat transfer later.  My recommendation is to except your beautiful body as something you should be proud of and not look in the mirror so much.  Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
