I am planning on getting lipo 360/bbl and I want my results to resemble a very athletic appearance. I've seen many lipo cases where the big give away is the belly button. It gives the standard "lipo" tummy look. I am planning to go to a board certified PS for my procedure. Would wearing a silicone belly button shaper or a marble in the belly button during recovery help with shaping/molding so the belly button looks natural?
Answer: Liposuction With just liposuction, the belly button is usually not changed. You are probably thinking about a tummy tuck where the shape and size can be changed. I don't recommend wearing marbles after liposuction.

Answer: Belly button appearance The belly button appearance after surgery will depend on the amount of fat removed as well as skin elasticity. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. It is important to select an experienced surgeon who can show you before/after photos of their work as well as discuss with you what you can expect in terms of results.

Answer: Lipo should not change BB Standard liposuction should not change the appearance of the umbilicus (belly button) unless performed with an abdominoplasty. Wearing an umbilical shaping device can improve your chances of having an aesthetically pleasing umbilicus following your procedure whether performing liposuction alone or with an abdominoplasty.

Answer: Will my belly button change after lipo360? Very hard to answer without photos. In any case, when patients have excess skin above the belly button, liposuction to that area might make it looser. So skin laxity will affect the shape and make it look more horizontal as skin droops over it. But I think you mean the belly button is the big give away in a tummy tuck and not in lipo. This is because the belly button is redone in a tummy tuck and the scar sometimes make it look fake. In any case if your surgeon is careful about this issue I dint see any reason why it should turn out bad. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota
