What determines the type of bellybutton a person has after a tummy tuck?

November 15, 2020
Asked By:PSB00 in NYC

I've seen really tiny ones like on a Barbie, thin 'coin slot' ones, and ones that look like outies in photos. Do we get to choose, is this just done according to a doctor's aesthetic style, or does how we heal determine shape? I'd really like to have a normal, round innie belly button like I had before kids. Also, do doctor's put it in the same location if we want? Thanks!
