Can I get the loose skin above my belly button fixed without a tummy tuck? (Photo)

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

There are nonsurgical ways to tighten up the skin around the midsection. I would probably recommend ThermiTight, a radiofrequency device that uses tiny probes to gently heat the tissue deep beneath the skin’s surface. The process constricts the tissue while stimulating additional collagen production by the body. The result is smoother, firmer skin from the inside out. The procedure does not require a recovery period and the results develop in the weeks and months following the procedure. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in nonsurgical skin tightening techniques for further assessment and treatment recommendations. 

Dear Celebrated5106,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You can try some skin tightening methods. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
