Can I get my belly pierced after smart lipo? (photo)

You can absolutely get a piercing post lipo.  However, I would wait a minimum of 4-6 months to allow the area to heal completely!

You should wait 3 months minimum for the surgical scar to heal completely before repiercing. When I perform tummy tucks, I'll do the repiercing myself using sterile technique and local anesthesia.

Thank you for your question the congratulations on your recent procedure! I would give yourself at least 3 months, until the incision has healed, to go about repiercing your belly button. Good luck and congratulations again! 

Getting your belly button pierced after having Smart Lipo shouldn't be a problem. You will, of course, need to wait until your scar is fully healed. This could take 4 to 6 months. In that time, follow your surgeon's instructions for recovery and try to keep the scar soft through massage. Make sure your incision is completely healed before you proceed with any piercing.

You should ultimately have no problem. I would wait 4-6 months, or until the scar is soft to allow for the best result. If the tissue feels firm, massage the area to help soften it. Best, Dr. M 

In the majority of cases the incision used for Smart Lipo and the belly button piercing is not the same and if that's the case you you can definitely get your belly button pierced. On the other hand you should ask your treating physician if you may proceed safely. Good luck from New York City

Hi and welcome to our forum!
You definitely can undergo re-piercing of the belly button after liposuction. I recommend you wait until the swelling from your lipo has subsided for 3 months or so and all incisions have sealed.
Best wishes...

You should have absolutely no problem with getting a piercing after Smartlipo. As soon as the scar feels soft (massaging it daily will help for a few short minutes), you can get it pierced.david berman md
