Options to fix horizontal belly button/excess skin above belly button? (Photo)

Question

I’m a 28 year old female, 5’2 and 124 pounds. I had Vaser Liposuction just a year ago to correct excess fat on my lower stomach that I couldn’t seem to lose with working out and eating healthy. Since my recovery - I’ve noticed my stomach has less definition than before and there seems to be excess skin or fat above my belly button - making me look bigger/less fit than I am. Is there any non surgical or less invasive options to correct this issue?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If you are wanting less invasive options than a tummy tuck you could consider Evolve Tite, Tone, and Transform X.  This targets the tissues using RF technology and EMS.  The treatment is done in the office and there is no downtime.  Visit my website or a provider near you to learn more.

Thank you for your question and photos. It sounds and looks that you had fat reduction surgery of the lower abdomen with the VASER technique by your surgeon. Based on these photos, you did not have VASER Hi Def Lipo. If you wanted definition, the whole abdomen, waist and hips should've been done, possible 360 degrees for the best hourglass shape. It seems that you do have significant skin laxity and fat in the upper abdomen as well. The mole next to your belly button moved up by about 2-3 cm with pulling on the skin. If you were my patient, at this point, I would do VASER Hi Def Lipo with Renuvion skin tightening as well. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

You could try EM Sculpt Neo.

EM Sculpt Neo is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency to target both fat reduction and muscle building. It is designed to enhance muscle tone and reduce fat in specific areas of the body. The technology aims to induce supramaximal muscle contractions, contributing to muscle development and overall body sculpting.

Best of luck !

I would suggest EMSculpt to help tighten your abdominal muscles plus decrease some fat with no downtime and no surgery.
