Thank you for your question regarding whether it is possible to make your belly button deeper after a tummy tuck. This procedure is called an umbilicoplasty.
Umbilicoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to alter the appearance of the belly button or umbilicus. It is typically done for cosmetic reasons to improve the appearance of the belly button or to correct deformities or abnormalities.
There are several different techniques used in umbilicoplasty, depending on the specific concerns of the patient. For example, if the belly button is too large, your plastic surgeon may remove excess skin and tissue to create a smaller, more proportionate belly button. If the belly button is too small or inverted, the surgeon may use tissue grafts or flaps to create a larger, more prominent belly button.
In your case, the umbilical stalk needs to be anchored with a permanent suture. Your umbilical repair is relatively straightforward to correct.
Umbilicoplasty can be performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a tummy tuck or other body contouring procedure. Recovery time depends on the extent of the surgery, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. As with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, which should be discussed with the plastic surgeon prior to the procedure. I hope that I have answered your question regarding whether it is possible to make your belly button deeper after a tummy tuck.
