I was wondering if my stomach (upper part) were you can't see my belly button is either excess fat or loose skin. I have lost a little over a 100 lbs in the last two years. I am 5'1 and currently weight about 150-152 lbs. I would like to loose another 30 lbs? 30 yrs old. Do you think that loosing the next thirty pounds will decrease the upper crease hanging over my belly button or should I consider a full tummy tuck in the future. I am not married and do not have kids.
