Is it good to take precaution and wear a belly button shaper (or just use a marble) after a tummy tuck? I heard it's good to do so after the scab heals, to ensure that the belly button doesn't close up. Thanks!

Answer: Is it a good idea to wear a belly button shaper after a tummy tuck? Hi. Not all belly buttons need a shaper so it is best to check with your surgeon. But if necessary, it is best to wait about a month before using a silicon belly button because silicone does affect scarring. If used too soon, it might make the scar too week.
