I had tummy tuck 8 weeks ago and doctor decided not to form a new belly button and pulled the tissue down. It looks that it's sitting close to the pubic area. What is your opinion? Thank you.
As Dr.Rand stated your results could have been better. Your belly button is one the things that could have been better.
Opinions to lower my recent TT scar and lift my still sagging mons further include removal of an inch of skin below scar, extend scar, anchoring sutures, lipo to pubis. One suggestion to maximize how much the scar can be lowered is to release the belly button and lift the skin to just above it. Realself has very opposing views on umbilical floats with regards to a modified or mini TT. What are your opinions on this please if we’re just aiming to lower scar? Thank you for your time.
Updated here.
The position of your scar and belly button is high . We do not have your before pictures to discuss the rational for the high incision placement. Floating the belly button in your case is risky because of the scar around the belly button. The main risk would be necrosis of the belly button. I would suggest to wait a year before seeking belly button translocation.

You have a good result post tummy tuck and will continue to improve. You may need some liposuction down the road. The optimal situation would be that you start to lose weight by changing your diet and exercise to improve the tummy tuck result.
