Unfortunately I was told a different version of what my stomach would look like after tummy tuck and a diastasis repair.. but this is what it looks like. I was not told I should do fully tummy tuck by the provider, and I was told me belly button would be elsewhere. Right now my belly button is literally right above my underwear area, and my torso looks shorter than before. He said he did a float tuck and he said he did not cut the belly button so it could be fixed. Please help, I need this fixed

Answer: Tummy tuck Thank you for your question. It looks like you had a mini tummy tuck and probably would’ve benefited from a full. The solution would be too make a more standard tummy tuck incision and exercise the overhanging skin. When a belly button is “floated” that usually means the stalk of the belly button is cut. However, if your surgeon did not cut the belly button stalk the fix is actually quite simple to perform a standard tummy tuck. If the stalk is cut and the belly button was actually floated, then your option is a standard tummy tuck incision to exercise the excess skin and fat, and then perform a neoumbilicoplasty to make you a new belly button. Good luck.
