I Just Had a Mini Tummy Tuck and my Belly Button Looks Really Low, is It Normal? I had my tummy tuck 3 days ago, and my belly button is very low, under my waist line. Will it adjust over the time? Thank you,

A: "Mini Tummy Tuck and my Belly button is too low"

3 days following your mini tummy tuck procedure is too early to know the final position of the umbilicus (or belly button). Your skin is going to relax and you will see your final shape take place over the next 3-6 months. In certain patients, if this remains to low there are ways to correct it. For instance, once your skin has relaxed and the scar tissue settled it is possible to re-elevate the abdominal skin/fat (as in the previous procedure) and above the umbilicus and make an incision around the belly button to "re-drape" the abdominal skin and place the belly button in the appropriate position.

Mini Tummy Tuck Possible if Full TT out Due to Gall Bladder Surgery? I had my Gallbladder removed several years back after 3 c-sections. Anyway, I tried to get a TT but I was told a full tummy tuck wasn't for me due to a previous surgery (Gallbladder). What other options do I have? A mini tummy tuck perhaps? I'm worried about the shape of my b-button after the surgery. Although, is the pouch of skin I really want to get rid of. Please advise, thanks.

A: Modified Tummy Tuck techniques would provide you reasonable options

Hi there-

A traditional tummy tuck technique would indeed be a problem for you because of your gallbladder scar...

However, modified or marriage abdominoplasty techniques would be a good option for you.

Find a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery experienced in these techniques and visit for a consultation.

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck? How is it different than a regular tummy tuck?

A: Mini-tummy tuck versus Full Tummy tuck

A mini-tummy tuck is used to remove some stretch marks, excess skin, and some fat from the lower part of the abdomen. It does not typically address anything from the upper part of the abdomen. The incision is usually smaller and can be hidden under your undergarments. The other difference between a full tummy tuck and a mini-tummy tuck is that the belly button is typically altered or moved.
