Can I Get my Belly Button Pierced After a Tummy Tuck?

Yes, you should be able to get your belly button pierced 6 months after a tummy tuck.  By this stage your incision should  be completely healed and the scar maturing well.

It should be okay to get your belly button pierced as long as you have no complications from your surgery and your incision has healed. 

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.
