Natural looking Tummy Tuck / Belly button. I have seen some woman who have had a tummy tuck and it's very obvious, the belly button looks long and straight and the belly overly tight. What is the best advice to get a natural looking belly after a tummy tuck?

Answer: Natural-looking belly button Hello and thank you for your question. The goal of a tummy tuck surgery is to improve abdominal contour and shape, and with good surgical planing, the scar should be low and short that's completely hidden below the bikini line. The belly button should be designed to look natural and have minimal scarring on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flatter abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. I hope this helps.Best, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Does the belly button position move or remain the same? Hello @IntelligentBeauty thank you for your question. The shape of the navel and the skin depends on the plastic surgeon's techniques and also on the patient's care during the recovery process. It is important that you visit a board-certified specialist who can show you before and after testimonials of this surgery. Best wishes!! Alan Gonzalez MD
