I was considering a skin only tummy tuck but wondering if this can fix the area above my belly button too? (photos)

Asked By:Shutterbug42 in Morton, Illinois

Age 50, three pregancies of large babies and after weight loss with stability I am finally ready to address this issue. I would like to know if I would be eligible for a less invasive tummy tuck (without muscle repair) and perhaps in office under local as I do not like general anesthesia. I am concerned it won’t be enough to take care of the saggy skin above belly button.
