Can I get rid of this ledge of fat on my belly post-BBL? (photos)

January 6, 2022
Asked By:issy92 in England, United Kingdom

I’ve had 2 BBLs (2017 & 2019). I’m very happy with the results but after my second I was left with a little ledge of fat above my belly button. I did ask about it before my second BBL but my surgeon said that it couldn’t be removed as it’s too close to the umbilical cord area(?). When I lose weight, the fat is more prominent and makes the top of my belly button hang down so my stomach looks fatter than it is. Can anyone tell me if lipo really isn’t possible? I’ve tried aqualyx with no joy.
