I wanna get a tummy tuck soon and I’m just starting to research doctors for consultation but Im not sure if the surgery will stretch the hole or if it will be fine

Answer: Can I still get a tummy tuck with a belly ring? Will the surgery stretch out the hole? During a standard abdominoplasty, the umbilicus is transposed. In most cases the original umbilical opening and openings from jewelry, will be removed as a part of the excess tissue.

Answer: Can I still get a tummy tuck with a belly ring? Will the surgery stretch out the hole? Hello @Babii Doll, thank you for your question. It really depends on the individual patient, when we talk about a tummy tuck there is an excess of skin that is removed. If there is a significant amount of skin above the navel, it may be possible to reposition the navel itself. Ultimately, the best way to determine if you will have your belly ring or make a new one is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
