I am 47 years old w 3 children born naturally. I am 125 pounds and 5’6” . I was wondering if there are options for the saggy skin around my belly button. My stomach is not so much overweight as loose skin. Would a tummy tuck work for me or is there another option? Thank u

Answer: Tummy Tuck & Liposuction Thank you for your questions and photos. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: In person evaluation An in person evaluation is really best in your situation in order to determine the amount of loose skin present. You may do well with a skin tightening procedure such as BodyTite, or perhaps a mini tummy tuck. I encourage you to begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.
