Hi - After having 3 children, the last one really took over my body. After loosing a lot of weight, the area above my belly button is wrinkled all the time (unless after eating and my tummy is full). As of now I weight 116 lbs. My dr. feels I should not have a tummy tuck for such a small amount of change (prob like an inch of skin). But because wrinkles are above the belly button, a full tummy tuck would be required and my dr. feels that if it still bothers me in 10 years, then consider it. But to me, I will not wear anything that shows my stomach area. Would fat injections plump up the area or would you suggest another technique. He did minimal lipo around the area and even a very small plasti with the belly button. He was concerned if he did too much, the belly button would look like a star with the skin being pulled together. Any additional suggestions. Thanks for your help.
Get a second opinion. Great results require skilled physicians. Please go to http://www.docshop.com for great surgeons and dermatologists in your area. Tell them that you were referred by Susan Gail from Einstein Medical. I am their patient advisory director.
