Interested in an umbilical float but worried about the position/lowering of my belly button. If I tell my PS I don't want any skin removed above belly button, can they theoretically not move the belly button and just put it back in place? (so detach simply to allow for full muscular repair?). I don't have much/any loose skin above the belly button-- it's all below. But I need a full muscle repair (so a mini is out).

Answer: Belly Button During Umbilical Float Technique Thank you for your question regarding your umbilical float belly button. If you are undergoing an abdominoplasty with muscle repair and you don’t have any skin removed, the belly button or umbilicus can stay in the same position. However, if you remove even one or two cm of skin, the umbilicus will be pulled down one or two centimeters, respectively. Muscle repair is irrelevant to the position of the belly button. The position of the belly button is determined by how much skin is removed during an umbilical float technique. Thank you for your question and good luck.

Answer: Never Float a Bellybutton!! By nature, the umbilical float will reposition your belly button. So just say no. There are many women who would benefit from a full TT but are told they can't because the hole in the skin once attached to the belly button cannot be removed with the excess skin. This is wrong thinking. Performing a full TT with an ultra low incision and leaving the hole to be closed vertically is going to give you the best result and you'll still be able to wear a two piece bathing suit because the vertical scar will be inconspicuous.

Answer: Mini tummy tuck with umbilical float for full muscle repair With an umbilical float the belly button can be re-attached in its original location or moved lower.
