Answer: Piercings after tummy tuck surgery This is one of the most frequently asked questions. Lots of patients want to pierce their belly buttons after a tummy tuck surgery. Sometimes piercings can cause inflammation of scars and make them more noticeable or even cause infection. That’s the reason I recommend my patients to wait 12 months until the scars are fully healed.

Answer: Belly button piercing after a tummy tuck? Assuming that after two years the area is well healed and there is no abnormal scarring or hernia, it should be safe to have a belly button piercing.
