My last surgeon for my breast augmentation (amazing) implied that my belly button couldn't be corrected after piercing and pregnancy... Is there anything I can do? Is there a way to at least remove the small piece of skin that sags while keeping the general look of my own/not getting an entirely new belly button? It just looks sad. Also, in regard to the stretch marks.. am I a candidate for a mini tummy tuck given that there is some loose skin? Thank you in advance.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Joanne25, it depends on your skin laxity for which I would need to examine you. In general, liposuction does not help with skin laxity and a tummy tuck is the best option in this scenario. A mini tummy tuck can work great for laxity below the umbilicus but generally does not improve the area above 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.

Answer: What can I do for my sagging belly button and stretch marks? Last surgeon implied that belly button can't be corrected. Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Nothing replaces an in-person examination to assess your muscle and skin elasticity so I would recommend seeking out second opinion consultations to get the best advice. From your current appearance the scarring from a mini or a full may be objectionable based on how good your stomach looks.
