Is there Navel Area Tightening Procedure?

I am very athletic and I maintain a healthy, low-calorie diet. My body fat is low, but lately I've noticed that the skin surrounding my navel is a bit loose. I have a flat and tight stomach and I can even see abs, and I haven't had children, so I don't think a Tummy Tuck procedure is suitable for me. Also, I really don't want a scar. Is there a minor procedure for tightening the skin around the navel?

Not a great non-scar option

There is not a great "non scar" option here. Most involve trying to induce some level of skin tightening. In my practice patients with these issues sometimes elect for skin excision. Usually these scars can be well camouflaged in the belly button. Outside of those options ultrasonic or laser lipo with minimal fat removal may give you a more reliable and dramatic improvement compared to Thermage. I hope this helps.
