Will I Ever See my Belly Button Again Without Surgery?

December 27, 2011
Asked By:hedwighigh in Smyrna, TN

I've lost about 65 pounds in the last year and a half. I was told that I have loose skin but my stomach has always been this shape even at my highest weight. Is it loose skin? Will it get better as I lose more weight? Cause there is still fat behind it
