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

haha no ouch never felt a thing since the area has no feeling just lucky i noticed what was happening and took it out before it came completely through. Prob had it a month before it rejected.

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..

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

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

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

Hmm, have you asked your surgeon this question?
