What Are the Potential Complications After an Umbilicoplasty Procedure?

Thank you for the question.

For clarification, mini tummy tuck surgery generally does not involve decisions around the umbilicus. Make sure you understand the difference in mini tummy tuck and full tummy tuck surgery so you're not disappointed with the results of surgery.

Umbilicoplasty  complications include infection, abnormal scarring, unsatisfactory size (too small or too big),  incorrect positioning, unsatisfactory aesthetic results etc.

I hope this helps.

It would be unlikely to have tearing of the skin around the umbilicus since there would not typically be an incision made in this area. If you had a scar there before it should be stable. If the surgeon is contemplating performing a correction of the umbilicus then wound complications might occur, depending on the nature of the repair, although risks should be low.

Classically, in a Mini-Tummy Tuck the belly button is not separated from the tummy skin. As such, it should not tear or rip. When umbilicoplasties are performed, depending on why they are done and how they are done, they could be associated with a narrow umbilicus closed by scar tissue, a malpositioned belly button, or on rare occasion even partial or complete loss of the belly button.
