Are there procedures that would help me increase belly button depth after tummy tuck? (photos)

Dear knh555,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Only on the basis of in person evauation, a board certified plastic surgeon with experience, could give you appropriate option(s). More then one consult may be needed to make decision. Good luck.

It is possible to add more depth to the belly button after a tummy tuck, but this will depend on various factors such as the surgical technique used during the tummy tuck, the natural anatomy of the patient's belly button, and the surgeon's experience and expertise.

During a tummy tuck procedure, the belly button is typically repositioned to a higher position on the abdominal wall. The excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen, and the remaining skin is then pulled down and sutured in place, resulting in a flatter and smoother abdominal contour.

If a patient desires more depth in their belly button after a tummy tuck, the surgeon can make modifications to the belly button during the surgery. This may involve creating a deeper cavity for the belly button or adjusting the surrounding tissue to give it a more natural appearance.

It's important to discuss your specific goals and expectations with your surgeon before the surgery so they can tailor the procedure to your desired outcome. They can also help you understand the limitations and potential risks associated with modifying the belly button during a tummy tuck.

Best of luck !

there are no surgical options for this that i know of . I would not operate on this.

Hope this helps,
