Thanks for your question. Given the time frame and assuming you are fully healed, I would say it is completely fine to get a naval piercing. Always consult with your surgeon about concerns you may have.Dr. JSBMiami, FL
Thanks for your question! Ultimately you need an answer from your plastic surgeon. That being said, there are two different scenarios here. 1. You are happy with the shape and scar of your new belly button, but just want a piercing. I think 5 months is an appropriate time. 2.If you don't like the shape or scar of your belly button and are trying to hide or disguise it. You should discuss scar revision with your PS. Six months after surgery is a good time to discuss this option. Best of luck!
After a tummy tuck, I would recommend waiting 12 weeks prior to this piercing procedure. Your procedure must have healed nicely.
Hello, generally I would have no reservations about my patient having their navel pierced 5 months after their tummy tuck provided everything was healing normally (no keloidal or hypertrophic scars). It would be worthwhile first contacting your PS since they are aware of your healing progress.
I personally do not recommend for patients to get navel piercings after atummy tuck as the belly button has been reconstructed and has scar tissue.Scar tissue usually has less circulation thannormal tissue and piercings usually require good circulation in order to healproperly.If you are adamant aboutgetting a navel piercing, I would recommend waiting 9-12 months.
Hello. As long as your belly button incision has completely healed, you should be able to get the navel pierced. Since your surgery was 5 months ago, I assume that you are healed.. Please check with your plastic surgeon to make sure.
Naval piercing after a tummy tuck can be performed when the surgeon gives you the OK. Probably 3-4 weeks after surgery, just making sure everything is healed up.
hello, If the cicatrization have been completed and there is not any opening in the skin you can put the piercing, but a personal evaluation by your plastic surgeon should be done first.Best of luck
Yes. Not only can you wear silicone gel sheeting 24/7 other than while showering but you should. It is most effective when worn almost continually over a scar for a few months.
Although uncommon, permanent numbness can occur after tummy tuck surgery, especially in the lower mid line area between the scar and belly button. After 15 months there can be some improvement but it is doubtful. In most cases there is some sensation present, just not the normal pre-surgical...
Thanks for your question. Small seromas less than the size of a marble can resolve. Anything larger I prefer to aspirate. There is a risk of infection performing this procedure especially if any mesh was used in your repair. Aspirating the seroma will decrease the healing time. Hope this...
