Is "Drawstring" Tummy Tuck Incision Procedure Feasible?

November 12, 2008
Asked By:shariaz in Tempe, AZ

I know that some surgeries (kidney transplant, breast augmentation) have been performed with incisions through the belly button. Have Tummy Tuck procedures ever been tried by cutting excess skin around the belly button, and then tightening skin (drawstring fashion)? Is this even feasible, to hide scarring in belly button area?
