Hello! I'm 26 years old, I live a reasonably healthy lifestyle however I was slightly bigger before! Since I've toned up and lost the weight my belly button has slightly sagged (the skin above my bellybutton not underneath) I'm so insecure about my belly button and I hide it from everyone -I haven't had children yet so I don't want a tummy tuck and I don't think I need one either! I just want the skin above gone and tighter, If anyone knows of any treatments that could help lmk! thank u
Answer: Renuvion Renuvion is the best minimally invasive option for tightening mild to moderate loose skin. On average, patients usually see 25-30% skin tightening in the area treated.

Answer: Moderately Invasive Devices For these areas I would typically recommend a moderately invasive device such as BodyTite, Renuvion, or other device that applies energy to the area under the skin. This can help cause contraction/tightening of the dermis which will ultimately tighten the skin without any significant incisions. I would also avoid a formal abdominoplasty in order to avoid the rectus diastasis repair if you are planning on eventually having children. Devices that are completely noninvasive, such as radiofrequency, can also be effective in young people (under age 35-40).

Answer: Skin tightening You may want to consider Morpheus8. This treatment combines microneedling with RF technology to improve overall skin tone and texture. Three treatment sessions are recommended for optimal results. See my website or a provider near you to learn more.

Answer: Morpheus8 can reduce appearance of fine lines around the belly button and give a tighter look 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

Answer: Which procedure would help tighten my belly button area? There are a few procedures that can help tighten the area around your belly button: 1. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): This surgical procedure removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen and tightens the muscles in the abdominal wall. It can significantly improve the appearance of a protruding or saggy belly button. 2. Mini Tummy Tuck: If your concern is primarily below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck might be an option. This procedure also involves removing excess skin and fat, but it's less invasive than a full tummy tuck. 3. Umbilicoplasty: This is a surgical procedure specifically designed to reshape the belly button. It can be done on its own or as part of a tummy tuck. 4. BodyTite or Renuvion: These are minimally invasive procedures that use radiofrequency energy or plasma energy to tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production. They can be a good option if you have mild to moderate skin laxity and don't want to undergo surgery. 5. Non-Surgical Skin Tightening: There are various non-surgical skin tightening treatments that use heat, ultrasound, or radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. These treatments can be a good option if you have mild skin laxity. Remember, the best procedure for you will depend on your specific needs and goals, as well as your overall health. It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to discuss your options.
