What tummy tuck type would you recommend for sagging under belly button? (Photos)

Question

Hi! Mom of three little ones, in perfect weight and mostly happy with my abdomen appearance. The only thing I dislike is the sagging under my belly button when I bend. It’s like thin wrinkly skin. I don’t have diastasis recti ( at least no more than 1-2 cm) so I don’t necessarily feel like I need to correct that. My belly button is nice but sits a little low as you see here. What would be the best option to get rid of some extra skin below my abdomen? Mini TT, mini TT, floating? Something else. Thank you

Everybody has some loosening of the skin when they bent forward.  It seems when you stand up straight, it corrects itself, and you do not truly have much extra skin.  I do not think there is much to do here surgically.  You are certainly lucky to have made it through pregnancies and have an aesthetically pleasing abdomen!

You appear to be an excellent candidate for a mini tummy tuck.  Most of your excess skin is below the umbilicus.

Best Wishes,

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for a mini-TT and liposuction. This will remove the extra skin below the belly button and improve the contour.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If the skin laxity is limited to below the belly button and you do not have diastasis above the belly button you can consider a mini tummy tuck.  This will not involve incisions around your belly button and the lower incision is a bit shorter than a traditional tummy tuck.  I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.
