I am thinkinng about a revision for my belly button. It has been over two years since my tummy tuck. I got a consultation from a PS that specializes in revisions. She told me my options were to get the belly button removed or to do a zplasty. I can't find pictures of a zplasty done on a belly button anywhere. I have a lot of scar tissue surrounding my belly button that thins out whenever I do dialite it. I just want to know if these "sun" shaped scars are going to be huge.
