How can loose skin & stretch marks above the belly button and a bump & stretch marks under the belly button be fixed? (Photos)

During a tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. Connective tissue in the abdomen (fascia) usually is tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look.

You might choose to have a tummy tuck if you have excess fat or skin around the area of your bellybutton or a weak lower abdominal wall. A tummy tuck can also boost your body image.

It is a rare individual in whom the mini TT produces the best result. Would recommend that you consider a short scar TT (The shorter scar it leaves is the same length as that of the mini TT) tightens the muscles, and removes skin and fat. The incision is so low, almost to the level of the leg crease, that bikini underwear and swimsuits may be worn afterwards. It creates a scar which is flat all the way across and is not a smiley face. This way the ends of the scar never rise above low cut clothing. The short scar TT also creates a more youthful belly button.

The area above your belly button cannot be targeted with a mini tummy tuck. A full tummy tuck is required. The stretch marks below your belly button may most likely be removed with a full tummy tuck, and those above may be improved in appearance to a certain extent. It’s recommended that you speak with your surgeon to determine how much of your stretch marks can be removed so that you can figure out whether a tummy tuck is suitable for you.
