Options to remove loose skin above the belly button?

February 12, 2016
Asked By:Lucky7N in Los Angeles, CA

I've had children and had hernia repair surgery a few years ago. Seeing the results after surgery has been very difficult for me - making me self conscious which I never was before. Since the surgery loose skin on my abdomen is more pronounced and protrudes - this with the scar. I would like to have at least one more child so I'm interested to know what my options are to correct the issue.
