I'm curious as to the different ways to make a 'new' belly button during abdominoplasty. I've heard of different techniques. What kinds are there? I want minimal scarring on the outside and a realistic look. What kind of technique would create a realistic-looking belly button?

Answer: Possibilites for creating new belly button are "endless" There are so many ways to "create" an umbilicus (belly button). First of all, the belly button is attached to the abdominal wall and is freed from the skin that will be removed. It stays where it always is on the wall, the repositioned skin in the incised and a variety of patterns which determines the shape, size of the "new" belly button. When you seek out your surgeon, make sure you see several photos of results so you can see if those results are what you might be happy with.

Answer: Umbilical appearance after tummy tuck When performing a tummy tuck, the umbilicus is not recreated. It is left in place and the skin that sits over it iafter the excess is removed is opened up to allow the umbilicus to be set in place. Yes, there are different ways to do this but that is something to go over with your doctor in person.
