I am 47 years old, 5'6' 120 lbs. I weight train since 1986. Around 1980, I gained quite a bit of weight in short time (was around 155 lbs) and still paying for the repercussions! In 1989, I had breast augmentation with a benelli breast lift. That same laxity plagues me on my stomach! Most women would love to look like me, but I hate my frowning belly button and puckery skin. The issue seems more in the area above the belly button. Is there a benelli-type procedure for me; an umbilicoplasty maybe? Would rather have belly button scar and covered with tattoo than tummy tuck.

Answer: Umbilicoplasty vs. tummy tuck Umbilicoplasty is a procedure to make the belly button look better. Usually it involves a hernia repair of the belly button and a reanchoring to recreate a more normal appearing belly button.

Answer: Tummy tuck is vastly superior to umbilicoplasty Very few patients actually want a tummy tuck - if alternatives existed which yielded similar results, you can be certain that plastic surgeons would recommend them.
