Options for Improving Belly Button Appearance After Tummy Tuck?

There may be many reasons for the funny and puckered appearance of the belly button or umbilicus.  If approved by your surgeon, I would suggest using a silicone cream/ointment (if not infected) combined with a sunscreen/block. Glass marbles have been used to stent open a closed umbilicus and reduce swelling. Glass marbles can be found at a craft's store. Occasionally I prefer glass beads because a small string can be placed which makes them easier to retrieve or remove once in place. Sterilize or cleanse the bead before each and every placement.

Thanks for your question -
After one year you are probably have the final look of your belly button.
It depends somewhat on how much of your original belly-button remains but in most cases a revision can be performed under local anesthesia to improve the appearance.
Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon.
I hope this helps.

After a tummy tuck procedure, some individuals may be dissatisfied with the appearance of their belly button (umbilicus). Here are several options for improving the appearance of the belly button after a tummy tuck:1. Revision Surgery: If you're unhappy with the appearance of your belly button after a tummy tuck, you may consider undergoing revision surgery specifically targeting the umbilicus. Your plastic surgeon can discuss the specific concerns you have and develop a tailored surgical plan to address them.2. Belly Button Revision: A belly button revision, also known as umbilicoplasty, is a procedure that focuses on enhancing the appearance of the belly button. This can involve reshaping the umbilicus, adjusting the size or position, or correcting any asymmetry or irregularities.3. Belly Button Piercing: Some individuals choose to enhance the appearance of their belly button by getting it pierced. However, it's essential to wait until you've fully healed from your tummy tuck surgery before considering any type of piercing. Additionally, discuss this option with your plastic surgeon to ensure it's safe for you.4. Non-Surgical Options: In some cases, non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers or injectable biostimulators may be used to improve the appearance of the belly button by adding volume or smoothing out irregularities. However, these options may have limitations and are typically not as effective as surgical interventions.5. Scar Management: If scarring around the belly button is a concern, various scar management techniques such as silicone gel sheets, silicone gel creams, or laser therapy may help improve the appearance of scars over time. It's essential to follow your plastic surgeon's recommendations for scar care to optimize results.6. Cosmetic Tattooing: In cases where the belly button lacks definition or pigment, cosmetic tattooing, also known as micropigmentation, can be used to enhance its appearance. This technique involves depositing pigments into the skin to create the desired shape and color.It's important to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with your plastic surgeon during the consultation process. They can assess your specific situation, discuss the available options, and recommend the most suitable approach to help you achieve the desired results for your belly button appearance after a tummy tuck.
