I am 3 1/2 weeks out from mini tummy tuck. The belly button is FAR lower than I am ok with (would like 2-3inches higher). I DO know that he sewed it in place in the new low spot. I haven't had my one month post op appointment yet. What can be done (least invasive) to fix this? Also I did not have lipo and my "woman bump" is too low. I am thinking I will have to have lipo to fix that..

Answer: Tummy tuck Thank you for the question and photos. It looks as though you have had the float procedure done where the umbilical stalk is cut, making a revision nearly impossible. Returning the umbilical stalk to the original site is extremely challenging with a very high risk of failure.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Answer: Low BB post mini TT You are still very early in the healing process, but I would agree the BB may appear quite low. The BB position is variable and frankly very few people would give the appearance a second thought. In hindsight, a full TT may have been a better choice, but not being the treating PS, It's impossible to know for sure. Give it time (months) and a full TT may be needed and your PS can make you a new BB.
