Asked By:ww1991

I lost 135 pounds over six years ago. I am in shape but my only issue is my bellybutton. It has enough loose skin above it that it makes it sag..and because of the skin laying on it I keep getting infections inside of it. I of course clean it every time I shower and make sure it gets dry but it just cant be helped. I do stomach exercises but hear that wont help. I cant afford surgery now but besides a full tummy tuck is there surgery just for belly buttons?
