Asked By:Generous8150 in Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia

I’m 37 and weigh just under 55kgs, 165cm tall. I had my belly button pierced twice in my life, and have had 3 children, youngest is 6. I also had an umbilical hernia repair in May 2019, which I think has made this appear worse since. I tried to get a consult with a surgeon after sending in photos to have it repaired, and was told I’d need a full tummy tuck to fix this. However, I don’t really have a lot of loose skin to tuck and I don’t feel like it’s the right thing for me. How can I fix this?
