I had an extended abdominoplasty last year and I AM SO HAPPPPPPY. I feel Better! However, my belly button is pretty high, and I feel it's such a giveaway. It looks very unnatural, more like a stylized drawing than a real belly. At this point I'm continuing to lose weight and perhaps it will somehow make a difference? Is it worth it or possible to lower my belly button? Thanks!
