Belly button revision after Tummy Tuck? (Photos)

katie03Jul 7, 2017
I had a TT 18mths ago. It is really tiny (2mm wide)and odd looking. My children constantly tease me about it. The scarring around it is very visible. Is there a way I can get a more natural looking belly button.

The acceptable amount of drainage after an abdominoplasty varies from surgeon to surgeon. In general, I like to see 25 ccs per drain per 24 hours, two consecutive days. BUT your surgeon may have different criteria for very valid reasons.  IN general, it's better to take them out a day or two to...
