Will Tummy Tuck Remove Scar Near Belly Button?

Hi there-

In most cases, a well-planned and executed tummy tuck WILL remove abdominal scars from prior surgery. The variables involved would include the location and size of the scar, the quantity and quality of the remaining abdominal tissues, and the planned operation.

The only way to be able to answer this question for you accurately and responsibly would be to examine you (allowing me to get a feel for the tissues and what would be possible). 

Find a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and visit for a consultation.

Hello,

Thank you for the question and the photo.  If the indentation above your belly button is a soft tissue fold then it will go away with a full tummy tuck.  If your indentation above your belly button is an actual scar then your tummy tuck procedure will have to be modified since an incision above your belly button in that location will have interrupted the blood supply from the right side of your rib cage to the soft tissue around the right side of your belly button.

All the best,

Dr. Remus Repta
