I have a deep dark crease above my belly button from slouching. Any procedure to remove it or lessen? (Photo)

Question

I’m skinny but my stomach still folds where the crease is when sitting/bending over. Is there any procedure to remove it or at least lessen the look. I read in another question where a doctor replied with “These creases can be softened by releasing them with an instrument called a ‘pickle fork’ and then injecting a little of your fat below the crease to try to avoid the attachment to muscle returning.”

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without proper photos, a physical evaluation is also needed. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, to determine the procedure that would help you to achieve the results you are looking.

Dear Graceful491417,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
