Introduction

What Happens To Your Belly Button After Abdominoplasty?

A tummy tuck—which some patients call a “belly tuck”—is one way of achieving a slimmer, more toned-looking midsection. You can get a tummy tuck after weight loss or a tummy tuck for loose skin due to aging or pregnancy to address sagging skin, excess fat, or weakened muscles on the belly area (diastasis recti). There are also variations of this procedure called a mini tummy tuck, or an extended tummy tuck, either of which might be more suitable for some patients. Many individuals search for “Tummy Tuck and Belly Button” in the Milwaukee and Madison area because they’re curious about what will happen to their belly button after tummy tuck surgery. Read on to learn about this surgical detail.

What Happens to the Belly Button After Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy Tuck and Belly Button Reshaping

Will you get a new belly button after tummy tuck surgery? What happens to your belly button after a tummy tuck? Even after you’ve already decided to get a tummy tuck, you might still have other questions, such as what you need to know about tummy tuck and the belly button. In the majority of cases, when you have a tummy tuck, a new belly button opening will be created, especially if weight gain or pregnancy have altered the shape of your existing belly button.

Tummy tucks for men and women alike will usually involve an incision being made around the belly button. Our board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Maida Parkins crafts a new shape for your belly button to ensure that the results look as natural as possible. In a mini tummy tuck, which focuses on changes below the navel, the belly button won’t be moved or altered.

Dr. Parkins, a female surgeon wearing a floral-patterned scrub cap, blue surgical gown, and white surgical mask, is intently focused on a procedure in a dimly lit operating room. She holds a surgical instrument in her gloved hands as a bright overhead light illuminates the surgical field. The rest of the room remains dark, emphasizing the precision and intensity of the moment. - Liposuction in Oconomowoc, WI
