I had an umbilican float tummy tuck one year ago. It was a disaster and left me with an extremely low belly button and a ledge/step off below my scar. Can I have a full tummy tuck? Would I risk doing damage to my belly button? I have plenty of skin that can be removed.

From the photo there appears to be contour irregularities. However an in person evaluation is needed to determine if the area could be improved with liposuction. It could be from failed muscle repair, scar adhesions or something else. Visit with your surgeon to learn more.
I'm sorry you went through so much after your tummy tuck. You didn't mention how far out from your most recent surgery you are. You will not see your final results from surgery for nine months to a year. If after that time you are still concerned you can consider a scar revision or other...
Dear sealine43,
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.
