Navel Area Tightening Procedure?

There are many safe options to tighten the area around your navel and abdominal wall. However, none of these options carry a one hundred percent guarantee to eradicate loss skin in any given area.
An abdominoplasty procedure is the gold standard for abdominal tightening. However, in some early cases, a combination of external skin tightening with lasers and Endermologie have been shown to qualitatively improve the skin.

Dear random36,

It's great to hear that you maintain a healthy lifestyle and have achieved a flat and tight stomach. If you're looking to address the loose skin around your navel without undergoing a surgical procedure like a tummy tuck, there are noninvasive options available that you may consider.

One such option is Morpheus8, a minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This innovative procedure can help tighten and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. Morpheus8 is known for its ability to target specific areas, making it suitable for tightening loose skin around the navel without the need for surgery or scarring.

During a consultation with a qualified provider, you can discuss your concerns and goals in detail to determine if Morpheus8 or other noninvasive treatments are suitable for your needs. Your provider can assess your skin condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to achieve the desired tightening effect in the navel area.

Remember to choose a reputable provider with experience in performing Morpheus8 treatments to ensure safe and effective results. With the right approach, you can achieve a firmer and more youthful appearance in the navel area without undergoing surgery.

Your request is very simple and common but the soluton is very complex and not very simple.

For minor skin laxity, you could try the Accent device, which is a RFA (Radio Frquency Ablation) laser. More severe laxity will likely require some open surgical contouring procedure.

I agree with Dr. Di Saia that there is not a great "non scar" option here.
Most involve trying to induce some level of skin tightening.
In my practice patients with these issues sometimes elect for skin excision. Usually these scars can be well camouflaged in the belly button.
Outside of those options ultrasonic or laser lipo with minimal fat removal may give you a more reliable and dramatic improvement compared to Thermage.
I hope this helps.
