Umbilical float - can you remove skin BELOW the belly button and not have it affect the belly button position?

Asked By:katek77 in Tucson, Arizona

I posted some questions about the umbilical float procedure and appreciate all the feedback. I have a follow up question for clarification— in an umbilical float, can you remove skin BELOW the belly button and not have it affect the belly button position? My understanding was that it’s the skin ABOVE the belly button that moves it lower. But if I only had skin removed BELOW the belly button, could I theoretically keep the belly button in the same position and have a full muscle repair?
