Options for Improving Belly Button Appearance After Tummy Tuck surgery?
I had a tummy tuck procedure and some lipo work done in March of 07. Before the surgery I could see my belly button. Presently, my belly button looks like puckered lips, and I am unable to see it. I would like to know if that will change over time? I would also like to know if there is anything that I could do about the appearance of my belly button? I am happy with the results of the surgery but expected my belly button to look better. I really do not like it. It really looks like I had something done.
Belly Button Improvement
Thanks for your question - After one year you are probably have the final look of your belly button. It depends somewhat on how much of your original belly-button remains but in most cases a revision can be performed under local anesthesia to improve the appearance. Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), which commonly occurs after pregnancy or significant weight loss. The procedure involves an incision from hip to hip, typically placed low enough to be hidden by underwear or a bikini.
Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons ensures your surgeon has met the highest professional standards.
