Do most Mini Tummy Tucks keep the belly button in its natural position? Is “floating” only necessary when skin is loose above the belly button? Most pictures I’m seeing on RS of mini TT the BB looks untouched when I look up floating they are way lower.
Answer: Tummy Tuck Hello and thank you for the question. Belly button stays in the same position in a mini tummy tuck, and only a minimal amount of lower abdominal skin will be removed. There are subtle differences between different types of abdominoplasty. Not everyone is a candidate for a float or mini tummy tuck. You should ask your board-certified plastic surgeon to explain these to you and show you before and after pictures of his/her patients. Best,

Answer: Mini tummy tuck In a mini tummy tuck the belly button is not moved. Skin below the belly button is excised to address excess skin of the lower abdomen. I've included a video discussing the different types of tummy tucks that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Belly button For the mini tuck, the belly button is left in its original position, but the lower skin is removed, and often the muscle can still be tightened. To see if you are a candidate, please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Do most Mini TT keep the belly button in its natural position or are they floated? A mini Tummy Tuck is not usually the best option when there is loose skin above the umbilicus. If this is corrected by floating the umbilicus then generally the umbilicus will end up in a lower position. These are good questions to discuss with your surgeon who can provide you with options during a consultation.

Answer: Most mini tummy tucks do not float the belly button A belly button float is done for access the the upper abdomen to do a full muscle separation (diastasis) repair with a mini tummy tuck. It does not leave an external scar on the belly button, and it can be re-attached in its original location or moved lower. So the best candidates for a mini with umbi float are women with diastasis, a high position of the belly button, and not much skin laxity in the upper abdomen. Most mini tummy tucks do not include the float.
