Belly Button Revision? 1 Year Post-op Tummy Tuck w/ Muscle Repair (photo)

Question

Hello - I'm almost 1 year post op from a TT + muscle repair and although I'm overall pretty happy with the results, I don't like the way my belly button turned out. It lies pretty flat against my skin and there isn't an "inny" portion to it. How easy would it be to revise this to be more of an "inny" belly button? Any recommendations or thoughts would be appreciated, thank you!

Dear GP0618,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for posting your question here !My answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided, for a more detailed and personalized plan please consult with your plastic surgeon in person.Being a year out from surgery is a good time to consider the revision , depending on what was done in the initial surgery a revision can be as simple as tacking it down to fascia or it can be complex as needing a neon belly button made. it is hard for me to tell based purely on your pictures but if a traditional TT was performed then the BB revision should not be very complicated.I hope this helps, best of luck!
