Have you ever heard of a sad belly button?

Pregnancy and weight loss are some situations that require greater skin elasticity and can cause tissue accumulation around the navel, known as a sad belly button.
Healthy eating and daily physical activity help prevent a sad belly button. But if the situation is already established, the best approach is to seek aesthetic alternatives for correction.
For most cases, the indication is abdominoplasty, a plastic surgery performed on the abdomen and indicated for cases with excess skin and fat in this region. “I see many people trying to avoid abdominoplasty and seeking treatments that will not always resolve the sad belly button.
Poly-L-lactic acid, microneedling, radiofrequency, PDO threads (polydioxanone threads), and suspension threads are some of the alternative treatments offered to resolve a sad belly button. These procedures, depending on the amount of skin accumulated around the navel, will continue to leave it with the same appearance. They can improve skin quality, but they will not resolve the issue in most cases.
