Should I get a belly button revision post tummy tuck? (Photo)

Hello,
Thank you for your question. It’s understandable to feel conflicted—especially when you're happy with the shape of your belly button but not the visibility of the scar. If the scar fully outlines the belly button and is noticeably raised, dark, or widened, non-surgical treatments like lasers, microneedling, or steroid injections may help improve texture and pigmentation, but they often can’t reposition or conceal a poorly placed or prominent scar. If your main concern is how visible the scar is in swimwear or crop tops, and it's affecting your confidence, a surgical scar revision might provide a more lasting and cosmetic result—particularly if the current scar is sitting too far outside the natural shadow of the belly button. A plastic surgeon can often re-create the umbilical shape you like while hiding the scar more discreetly within the navel contour. A consultation with a board-certified surgeon will help determine if a revision is truly needed or if conservative treatments could offer enough improvement.

Thanks for your question! The scar is wide and discolored but by treating the scar with creams and microneedling, you may be able to minimize the appearance of the scars. That would be my suggestion before jumping into surgery. Good luck!
