After BBL how much will your belly button change ( fat is taken from stomach)? Will it ever go back to normal if it changes?

Great question. Pretty simple answer--it depends. On how much fat is harvested and whether it is done evenly and smoothly. Often surgeons are more concerned with the fat obtained and the BBL, and care very little about the donor site appearance. Or perhaps feel that if they deflate and make the belly look bad they may eventually get a tummy tuck out of this patient!The actual umbilical incision is only several mm long (about 1/4th inch or less) and if not too irritated by the fat removal process, and sutured skillfully, will usually heal beautifully. (Scar hardly visible)But there must be a reason you are asking this question. If you have a friend whose result makes you worry about this potential concern, then obtain several consultations by ABPS-certified plastic surgeons and see some of their outcome photos, including tummy tuck photos. This may help give you an idea about how your chosen surgeon cares for this area.If the belly button is "messed up" by liposuction for fat harvest, it may get better as things heal and scar tissue softens and matures. But bad outcomes do not correct themselves. They are best avoided in the first place, and in many (but not all) cases, can be improved upon by a skilled plastic surgeon who cares about this area. Should be all of us, eh? Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Pictures would be helpful. Typically, liposuction of your abdomen does not change the shape or size of your belly button.Good luck.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

Sorry, but I am not exactly sure how to answer this.  If you provide pictures, I may be able to help.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts and
liposuction procedures each year. Look for great reviews and great
before
and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank
you for your question .

The results will depend on the experience of your surgeon and how your belly was post up of your procedure.


Many
surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send
us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also
offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most
accurate quote.


Choose a
board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts
and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This
says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry
risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.



 

When fat is harvested from the abdomen it should not impact the umbilicus to any great extent. But I will say it depends upon what your abdomen looked like before and how much fat is harvested.

Liposuction around the belly button may change the belly button slightly. Depending on how much fat is around the belly button. The general shape will remain as is. Discuss this concern with your plastic surgeon

This is an interesting question that we do not get very often.  The answer really is a "depends" one since one never knows how you are going to scar and what shape your belly button will take because of it.  It is also slightly dependent upon how much fat is removed around your  belly button.  The best way to get this question answered would be to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon.I hope this helps.Best regards.
