Belly piercing after a Tummy Tuck

By Foliebergere on 19 Dec 2010

Has anyone had any experience with a belly piercing after a TT? I presently have one, but I am schedules for a TT in March 2011. How long after a TT do you think we can have a belly piercing? Thanks. Foliebergère

Hmm, have you asked your surgeon this question?

Here are doctor tips for belly button piecing before a tummy tuck, and this one refers to belly button piercing after a tummy tuck

Funny. My belly button was pierced before my surgery. Now it's not. Kinda like being brand new again!

I was told by a physician to wait 9-12 months before doing any belly button piercing or tattoos on the tummy or hips.

Hi and thanks for the information. I will probably wait a year to make sure everything is back to normal!

Make sure that they don't get the piercing in your scar. I had mine done after and my body rejected it and pushed it out. I think it was because it came through the scar. But still thinking about trying a again lol..
