Will the belly button be prone to tearing even after the mini-tummy tuck surgery has been completely healed some years after the procedure already?
A mini tummy tuck removes about half of the skin of the lower abdomen, repositions the muscles of the lower abdomen and changes the position and shape of your belly button. Typically there is no scar around the belly button but it is a little bit lower and more vertical (up and down) in orientation. The shape looks more like a pre-pregnancy belly button and is usually a cosmetic improvement over the oldd belly button. There is no reason to think that it would be more vulnerable to tearing or irritation after surgery.
