Hi, I had a tummy tuck/ umbilical hernia repair in 2018. My button died and I have been trying to get it fixed since by skin procedures. Nothing is working. Does anyone have experience with this? Clinical trial? I'll try anything! Was told I can't have a revision TT because I don't have enough skin but I'm ready for anything that will give me somewhat of a normal looking belly button. Pls pls pls help!

Answer: Belly button Dear Gg3289, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Reconstructive belly button surgery Unfortunately, belly button necrosis does happen, although it is very rare. Your best course of action is to see a board-certified plastic surgeon to examine you. There are various ‘flap’ and skin grafting techniques that can be used to create near-natural-looking belly button.
