I had my son 18 months ago. I'm very fit but this indent makes me very self conscious. What are the recommendations to heal this naturally or with surgery?

Answer: Stretch marks? Those look like stretch marks to me. I believe they are indented because the skin is very thin and there is no muscle attached behind it in that area. There are some radiofrequency "lasers" that may work to tighten the skin, but I have been disappointed by the results. Given where your stretch marks are, I think they could be cut out surgically and sutured back together carefully, leaving a very slight scar above (or right on the upper border) of your belly button.
