Belly button piercing after lower bodylift?

Getting a belly button piercing after undergoing a lower body lift surgery, such as a 360° body lift, is generally not recommended until you have fully healed from the surgery and received clearance from your plastic surgeon. Here are some reasons why:
1. Healing process: Lower body lift surgery involves significant tissue manipulation and the creation of new incisions, including around the belly button area. It's essential to allow your body adequate time to heal from the surgery before introducing additional trauma, such as piercing.
2. Risk of infection: Piercing the skin creates openings that can serve as entry points for bacteria. Since your body is still in the healing process after surgery, there is an increased risk of infection if you get a piercing too soon. Infections can complicate the healing process and may require medical intervention.
3. Scarring: Piercing the skin around the belly button area can potentially interfere with the healing of surgical incisions and contribute to scar formation. Waiting until your scars have fully matured and stabilized reduces the risk of complications and ensures better cosmetic outcomes.
4. Consultation with your surgeon: Before considering any additional procedures, including getting a belly button piercing, it's important to consult with your plastic surgeon. They can assess your healing progress, provide recommendations, and advise you on the best timing for getting a piercing based on your individual circumstances.
In general, it's advisable to wait at least several months, if not longer, after lower body lift surgery before getting a belly button piercing. Your plastic surgeon can provide specific guidance based on your healing trajectory and any additional factors that may affect your recovery. Prioritizing your health and safety during the post-operative period is crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes from your surgery

It should be possible to get a belly button piercing after body lift surgery but its best to wait at least six months and seek your surgeon’s approval based on your individual recovery.
