Is my belly button too high? (Photo)

ChelleA.    I don't think your plastic surgeon placed your belly button too high, because it is fixed.  I honestly think you need to look at the positives.  Your abdominal contour is excellent and while your scar is somewhat widened, it is flat and low enough to be hidden by your bikini or panties.  The only thing I would possibly consider is scar revision. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

During a full tummy tuck procedure, the belly button stays attached to the abdominal wall. This means that it does not move up or down significantly during the procedure. It may be possible to move it down slightly (less than 1 cm) if you're bothered by the appearance. 

Thanks foy your inquiry, it appears your plastic surgeon did not move your belly button and it is in its native position. It may be able to be pulled down a 1 cm if you are trully troubled--look for a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and good luck. 

There is some normal variation with belly button position. Generally speaking, the position really doesn't move that much with a tummy tuck procedure. The umbilicus is simply brought out where it has always been positioned between your muscles.   Revisions can be somewhat challenging. My recommendation would be to discuss your concerns with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. However, the best option might be to simply leave things as they are. The condition does not appear to be that significant. You probably focus on much more than others. Best wishes to you!

As others have stated, there is a lot of variation in bellybutton position.  Given your pictures, I think it is something that likely you are focusing on that other people would not likely notice or question.Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  The belly button should be within a centimeter of the upper portion of each hip bone, but there is a lot of natural variation.  In a full tummy tuck your belly button remains attached to your underlying muscle wall and does not move.  I think you have obtained a very nice result and would focus on this rather than your belly button.  Best wishes. 

Your belly button is probably in the correct position but you do have some scarring issues you may want to resolve.

Ideally you should compare your pre-operative photos to this postoperative photo. Usually the belly button remains attached to you abdominal wall during the surgery and then it is brought out at its natural position. 

The classic description is that the umbilicus is at the same height as the upper border of the hip bone.  However, there are many variations.  I am assuming that your surgeon just pulled it out through a hole he made in the abdominal flap when he performed the tummy tuck so that it was where it was felt through the skin. It was not moved up or down.  Best to be evaluated in person.

In a TT, the belly button is not moved or remade in 99.9% of cases so yours was always there, it just seems different to you because of the changes around it.
