In my 30s, 5'3", 120 lbs, never had children. Always been around 120 lbs, but went up to 125 lbs in freshman year. Back down to 120lb in the summer. Two years ago, I dropped to 105 lbs with unsustainable super strict dieting. No matter what weight I've been, my stomach has never been taut. It always seems like there is fat (or loose skin?) and my belly button is a "sad frown." In your opinion, does it look like I unfortunately just have loose skin on my abs? Would lipo improve or make worse?

Answer: Scarless Skin Tightening If loose skin is your concern, then liposuction will generally only make that looseness worse. You should consider Scarless Skin Tightening with the InMode BodyTite procedure. It really works nicely and may be just the right procedure to help your situation.

Answer: Tummy options Thank you for your photo. A tummy tuck results in a low scar across your lower abdomen and will help flatten out the area both above and below your belly button. Your belly button can be placed in the same area and will have a small incision around the inside rim. You may have a small vertical scar at your lower abdomen if you don't have enough skin to pull down. This procedure would have the most effective of removing the "sad frown" that you don't like. To avoid scarring, liposuction can help remove the fat but does not remove skin. If you have good skin elasticity, your skin may tighten up on its own enough once the fat is removed to alleviate the "frown." It is best to have an in-office examination so that the best treatment plan can be determined and explained to you for the safest and best results. Hope this helps! Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery
