How can I get rid of mild access skin around the belly button after liposuction?

Question

Hi, I had liposuction done about 8 months ago. The belly button started sagging and I developed a “sad navel“. What can I do to get a more lifted belly button? Do I need to do a surgery to remove saggy skin? Will J-pplasma work?

Thank you so much for sharing with us your question and pictures. It is normal after surgery to have skin elasticity issues, you can check with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon in your area or go back to your preview surgeon. J-Plasma can be one of your option but a physical evaluation is need it. Best of luck!

Dear Tina.a,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo and description, it looks like you have an option to wait some more time to see the final results, get some kind of skin tightening treatments or to get a belly button surgery. If you are considering a treatment or surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would suggest leaving it a year for everything to completely settle.  You can have a belly button surgery under a local anaesthetic however I would suggest doing nothing at all.  I think your belly button looks fine and having surgery you run the risk of scarring, infection etc.  The liposuction has achieved a very good result.  All The Best
