Why is it not possible to have liposuction through the belly button to remove fat from below the breasts to the top of the pubic area, pulling and cutting off the loose skin, recreating a new belly button, to eliminate major surgery? This would seem to me to be much less invasive with a more speedy recovery.

Answer: It Would be Nice But... You would have an unnatural and also very limited result. In plastic surgery the shorter the incision the less dramatic the result.

Answer: Still surgery Someone once said if you think you have a novel idea, you have not read enough. Sure you can operate through the belly button and we commonly do liposuction through this area. However, you can't just cut out the loose skin and cinch it up into a new belly button. Your abdomen would look like a mess from all the folding and pleating needed to cinch up the skin to the size of a belly button. Try taking a t-shirt and cut a huge hole in it the size of a small dinner plate. Now try bunching up the edges to close the hole to the size of your belly button. That is what your abdomen would look like - not pretty.
