Droopy belly button from weight fluctuations - is it possible to fix? (Photo)

vanilla133Aug 24, 2025
My belly button has become sad/frowny/droopy/saggy after years of significant weight fluctuations. Now, no matter how fit I am, it still looks like I have a plump belly because of the loose/droppy skin around my belly button. Is there any targeted procedure that can correct it? I’m not interested in a full tummy tuck. I had a consultation with one surgeon who took one look at my belly button and said, no, there’s nothing to do about it and I should just accept it as is. I’m 35, 5’4”, 110 lbs.
