Would a belly button revision fix this? (Photo)

Question

I am 5‘7“ tall and 128 pounds. I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair on 03/02/21. I don’t mind my bb when I am standing straight even though I can see the scar, but I really hate it when I lie down on my back. It completely pops out. Would a revision fix this?

Dear Smbrks,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes.  I do feel that this is happening due to excess skin inside your belly button.  Best option is a revision .  Cut would be around the entire belly button … resection of skin and closure.   It will work.

Go to a board certified plastic surgeon .  You will do very well.

Good luck!
