Will my Belly Button Shrink?

The belly button can swell after tummy tuck because there is always some tension in the area and somewhat more challenged blood supply serving the belly button.  At 2 weeks after the procedure, It may still settle down.  If it is still "quarter sized" after 3 months, then I would discuss this with your plastic surgeon to find out what your options are.

It has only been 2 weeks since your surgery and you should expect a significant of swelling to improve over the next several months. If the circumference of the belly button is wide, then you might be disappointed with the final results, but if the belly button just looks overly swollen, then this will likely improve dramatically. It all depends on how your surgeon performed your procedure. 

Dear Iris, The answer to your question as to whether your belly button will shrink depends on how your surgeon did your umbilicoplasty.  If he or she did a wide excision of the fat around the edge of your new belly button opening, then I doubt seriously your belly button will shrink.  On the other hand, if the fat was not removed, there may be some closing or tightening of the belly button. 

In general though, I think swelling would make it look smaller and not bigger, therefore I doubt that swelling is causing your belly button to look larger.  I recommend measuring the opening using a metric ruler, and the measurement should be taken every 2 weeks.  Give it 3 months.  If it stays the same or gets wider, speak to your plastic surgeon about a revision (this unfortunately is a known potential complication).  On the other hand, if it gets smaller, then your worries are over.
