Can You Perform Smart Lipo of Abdomen Through Belly Button?

While you may be able to use the belly button as one incision site, fat in your mid section needs to be accessed at different points, not just through your belly button. That's why a couple of incisions are made during the surgery, measuring just a few millimeters each. This improves the contour as well.

Abdominal liposuction needs to be addressed by a few areas so that the vectors intersect and create a smoother result. if you only had a cannula enter at the umbilicus then you would have a greater chance of having linear ridges.

The belly button is an ideal place to hide the scar from liposuction, but this is only one site.  Liposuction should be done from several different small puncture sites to provide even contour and achieve the best sculpting. On the abdomen I always use the belly button and then select several other sites in low inconspicuous areas to cover the entire abdomen.
