Been to 3 dr's for a consult, each has given me a different opinion regarding the amount of skin above my belly button.

Asked By:Mmakeover13 in Tel Aviv, IL

One said I did not have enough skin above it, one said I did have enough skin, and one said they would have to wait and see during the surgery. Do they just keep cutting higher and higher to see how high they can go? How is such a thing determined? I don't like the feeling of going into a surgery not knowing if I will have that additional vertical scar or not. I am 40 years old with 5 kids (natural births). I have also lost close to 100 pounds about 5 years ago with diet and exercise. Thanks!
