I have a handful of thick hairs that grow under my belly button . I understand that all that skin is removed so my question is after my tummy tuck with my hairy problem go away?
Answer: Belly Button Hair Removed w/ Tummy Tuck It's a great question you've asked about whether your tummy tuck will solve your problem with hair growth around your belly button. This truly depends on the extent of your procedure and how much skin will be resected. In a standard tummy tuck procedure, the skin below the belly button is typically removed, and a new belly button is created. If the hair growth you're referring to is located on the skin that is to be resected during the procedure, then yes, that would effectively remove the hair growth in that area. However, if the hairs are above the incision line, they may still be present post-surgery. Your plastic surgeon should be able to provide a more accurate answer based on your individual case during your consultation. Remember, each individual's anatomy and surgical plan are unique, so it's important to discuss your specific concerns and expectations with your surgeon. Sincerely,

Answer: Tummy tuck During a standard tummy tuck the skin from the belly button down to about the hip bones is removed. The skin that is currently above the belly button is pulled down to meet the lower incision. If there is currently no hair above the belly button then there shouldn't be any after the tummy tuck.

Answer: Will my problem with belly button hair go away after my tummy tuck? Hello @Eclectic570526, thank you for your question. Abdominoplasty involves the surgeon removing as much skin as possible, possibly including repositioning the navel. If these hairs are present at that location, they will be removed. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
