Loose Skin Following Mini-Tuck - Umbilicoplasty Candidate? (Photo)

January 27, 2024
Asked By:Stephforn

I had a mini-tuck and implants two years ago. The surgeon did not feel that my skin was loose enough for a regular tummy tuck, so he performed a mini along with J-Plasma. I am not satisfied with the amount of loose skin on my upper stomach and around my belly button, so I tried other in office skin tightening therapies, with limited results. I'm wondering if I am a candidate for an Umbilicoplasty. Will that remove enough lax skin and also reshape my belly button? If not, what are my options?
