Botched tummy tuck. Can it be fixed? I had a botched tummy tuck. My belly button was stolen. Can this be fixed? I consulted him and he said it was my fault and I knew what he was going to do. I didn’t. He showed me pictures that was misleading. He claims to have taken the inside vascular structure out. Will I be able to ever have my belly button repaired? I feel so bad about myself. I feel mutilated and deformed. I would pay anything to have my belly button back.

Answer: Belly button Your old belly button is probably gone or badly scarred, but a new one could be created. It will not look like the original, however. You could also have the area tattooed to appear to have a belly button by a cosmetic, not artistic, tattoo artist. It won't be perfect, but will give an appearance of having a belly button. Sometimes, both treatments work well together.

Answer: Botched Tummy Tuck! No Belly Button! First of all, was your surgeon a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon? Or, were they a Cosmetic Surgeon? There is a huge difference in training!!! Check their credentials. I have absolutely no explanation as to how this was in any way your fault! ??? Are you a smoker who did not quit? That could lead to vascular compromise. But even in that case, if he had left your belly button in place and it died, it would likely result in a pretty natural belly button. Belly buttons are nothing more than scar tissue. In any case, it is what it is. But, if I were you, I would want to know more. Yes. A new belly button can be made for you and it should look pretty natural when done well. Good Luck
