I am considering a revision TT after an umbilical float. The surgeon is recommending placating all the way up, pulling down any lose skin so having a small scar where my current BB is as it is too low since the float and I don't have enough skin to take it to the incision line, and then making a man made BB.

It all depends on whether the swelling is related to excess fat or swelling.  Both are normal, but excess fat can be removed with liposuction at this stage if it is indeed fat. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
