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, Dr.Bruno
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.

As long as you have good eating habits, your weight gain should only be temporary due mostly to fluid retention. It is important during the healing stage, not to deprive your body of much needed nutrients. Within 6 weeks of your surgery, you should be able to get back to your regular exercise...
