Will belly button surgery also help tighten my skin?

Question

I had lipo 10 years ago and I have a bump near my belly button and i was wondering if I do the surgery to fix my sad belly button will pull some skin and make my bump smooth?

Answering people's questions in an online forum is already limited compared to an in-person physical examination, so photographs are vital to the doctor to give reasonable answers. Please re-submit with non-selfie photos.

Without photos it is impossible to give you good answer. It is not likely that, regardless how extensive BB surgery may be, you will see any benefits of skin tightening. In person consultation is recommended. Good luck.

Dear mcv02,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. In some cases, it is possible to remove excess skin around the belly button. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
