Can my belly button be removed permanently during tummy tuck?

Hi! Not a very common question but an interesting one!
The answer is yes. The belly button actually serves no purpose other then an aesthetic one.
In that sense, it is an important anatomical feature, but it can certainly be permanently removed if that is what you wish for.

Best of luck!

Dear Annalauren92,
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.
