I am considering a panniculectomy, umbilical hernia repair and new belly button surgery. I have maintained my weight for several years. Will my stomach continue to protrude after the surgery? Can all vertical scars and stretch marks above my belly button be repositioned below my new belly button?

Answer: Can all vertical scars and stretch marks on my stomach be repositioned below new belly button after a Panniculectomy? (Photos) The TT will remove the stretchmarks to the level of the belly button. The scar can be well concealed if placed in a low position. Stretch marks above the navel cannot be removed during a TT. However, because the skin is lifted and repositioned during the TT, stretch marks above the navel prior to the surgery will be less visible following the TT, as they will be moved to a lower position. A TT addresses both the loose skin and the lax abdominal wall as to give a nice, flat youthful contour to the abdomen. The TT also creates a more youthful belly button and improve the waist to hip ratio.

Answer: Panniculectomy Dear Generous836715, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
