Tags: belly button

I had a full TT 5 months ago and I am upset about my belly button!! It is inches higher than before my TT.It is literally a few inches below my breasts. When i lay on my back, or stretch i can feel almost like a tubular lump below the button, or if I put my finger in it it (when laying)it points towards my feet not my spine. Its very uncomfortable. Can this be fixed with little scaring?? my surgeon said that is where my belly button is supposed to be and that he didn't pick that spot?? HELP

Correction of Belly Button placed too high in a Tummy Tuck

Placing a belly button too high is a known complication of Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty). It is completely correctable. The only downside would be a vertical scar between the present belly button location and the location where you want the belly button to be located.
