Navel Area Tightening Procedure?

December 4, 2008
Asked By:random36 in New York, New York, USA

I am very athletic and I maintain a healthy, low-calorie diet. My body fat is low, but lately I've noticed that the skin surrounding my navel is a bit loose. I have a flat and tight stomach and I can even see abs, and I haven't had children, so I don't think a Tummy Tuck is suitable for me. Also, I really don't want a scar. Is there a minor procedure for tightening the skin around the navel?
