I’m in my early 30’s, 5’10”, 133 lbs. I have either loose skin or fat under my belly button.,. I have had 3 children & had a full hysterectomy as well (not sure if that’s related). How can I get rid of this spot under my belly button? I would prefer something noninvasive but will consider other options as well.

Answer: Only One Reliable Way The only way to reliably get the skin below the umbilicus taken care of in your situation would be an abdominoplasty. After 3 children, the elastic component of the skin is more or less gone. While some will try and sell you minimally invasive or non-invasive treatments, it is likely that you will be highly disappointed. While committing to an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can be a big mental jump, it really is an incredible tool for body shaping and improving fit in clothes.

Answer: Recommend Morpheus8 and resurfx to smooth out texture and tighten the skin in the lower abdomen area. Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
