My short answer is Never. In general I do not recommend getting you belly button pierced after a full tummy tuck. IMO, this procedure has a high rate of infection and often times the pierced hole collapses and you are left with an ugly discolored scar that you did not need. The main reason is that this is no longer your native belly button anatomy but mostly scar tissue now. I do not recommend piercing the belly button post tummy tuck. Instead, I work hard to create a belly button that looks and feels natural so that you don't have to pierce the new one. Hope this helps.Dr Vasisht
You may get your belly button pierced after a tummy tuck. I would recommend waiting at least 6 months before doing so. Best wishes
