Botched belly button seven months post tummy tuck. Is there anything more that can be done? (Photo)

Question

I'm seven months post Abdominoplasty and two weeks post scar revision of my bellybutton. My navel still has a flat and wide appearance with no or very little depth. Is there anything more that can be done? Would an umbilicoplasty improve the appearance? If so what question should I ask my surgeon? Thank you in advance

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.In my practice for cases like yours i recommend a belly button revision and a complemntary abdomen liposuction to define a better body contour. Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

It is unlikely to improve much. However, you would want to wait for three months for the tissue to become softer.

Harry T. Haramis, MD, FACS · Answer

I agree, it is still very early to judge final results.  Close follow up with your plastic surgeon as the belly button settles is best.

William Andrade, MD · Answer

Hello, if you had revisionary surgery on your belly button only 2 weeks ago, it may be too early to consider another operation to change the appearance.  It usually takes months for scars to mature and soften so this is when you will be able to assess the result of your recent scar revision.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. It is best to speak with the surgeon who performed your surgery to have your belly button assessed, to ensure you area candidate for a revision. Hope this helps,
