I will be 6months post-op in February and was hoping to get my belly button pierced. Would that be ok?
Answer: Belly button piercing after a tummy tuck
As long as your incision is well healed, you can get your belly button pierced six months after a tummy tuck. If you are concerned at all regarding how your incision has healed, please consult with your plastic surgeon prior to the actual piercing.
Best wishes,

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thanks for the question. 2-4 months is enough time to get a piercing. Then, if you talk to your surgeon and get approval, there is no obstacle to having a piercing. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Wait Until Healed Before Getting Piercing Following Tummy Tuck Umbilical piercings have become very popular amongst younger patients. It’s not unusual for abdominoplasty patients to request this procedure following tummy tuck surgery. This is a relatively simple procedure, but should be delayed until adequate healing has taken place. In most cases this takes about six months to occur. It’s important to understand that wound healing varies from patient to patient. For this reason it’s important to consult your surgeon before proceeding with this maneuver.
