After extended tummy tuck, could belly button have detached post-op during vomiting? (photo)

The first photos shows a belly button that is deep with a tight, sculpted muscle repair.

The second shows what could be muscle separation and a belly button that is much more shallow and effaced.

Muscle separation is one thing that could cause this. Weight gain and swelling are other possibilities.

Def. see your surgeon for these concerns.

Only your surgeon knows what kind of umbilicoplasty was performed during your TT. It is possible that in a case of “floating BB” it was detached and retracted resulting in the shape change. Consultation with your surgeon or second opinion in-person consultation with another board certified plastic surgeon should be your next step. Good luck.

I do not recommend revising your belly button, for it will only create more scarring. You can have some micro-needling for the scarring.
