Q: Belly button after mini tummy tuck
A:
Frequently the belly button is not relocated during a mini-tummy tuck; rather some of the skin below it is removed and the belly button itself becomes stretched. During a full tummy tuck, an incision is made around the belly button and it actually gets relocated. The surgeon has much more control of the ultimate shape during this inset process and the "slit-like" appearance is rare.
