Will a Tummy Tuck Get Rid of All my Stretchmarks and Belly Button Piercing Scar?

Your
pictures suggests that you would be a candidate for a tummy tuck.The aesthetic goals of abdominoplasty surgery
include removal of redundant abdominal tissue, improved abdominal contour,
tightened abdominal muscles and removal of stretch marks.Most stretch marks develop below the level of
the umbilicus where they can be removed with an abdominoplasty.Occasionally, stretch marks occur
above the level of the umbilicus and these might not be removed with abdominoplasty.In your case, not only are stretch marks
located above your umbilicus, but so are, the scars from your umbilical
piercings.It’s possible that your stretch
marks and scars will be entirely removed with abdominoplasty surgery, but this
is unlikely.A more likely scenario is
that the downward pull on the flaps and subsequent stretching of the skin
during this procedure will result in less noticeable stretch marks.The procedure also relocates residual stretch
marks to a lower level where they are less visible.Unfortunately, at this time, there’s no good
way to manage stretch marks, short of removal.

The most difficult location to target stretch marks is above the belly button and on your sides, above the hips. Stretch marks on your middle to upper abdomen may not be removed, but they can be shifted lower. Stretching them out a bit can also reduce their appearance. Therefore, you may not achieve the results you want with a tummy tuck.

In most tummy tucks all the skin below the umbilicus will be removed sometimes a portion of the skin above will be removed.  The umbilical scar should be removed as well.  Regardless you should have a significant cosmetic improvements.

You appear to be an excellent candidate for an abdominoplasty and you should get a nice result. Typically the ellipse of skin that is removed during the procedure will remove the central stretch marks below your umbilicus.A full tummy tuck will remove the skin below your belly button.Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon for an examination and a thorough discussion of your goals and to learn what is possible.

Usually,  tummy tuck operations are successful in removing stretch marks at the level or slightly above the umbilicus.  Umbilical piercings can usually be removed as well. Of course, the lower the tummy tuck incision is kept,  the more stretch marks (and piercings) will remain after the procedure.

 Your plastic surgeon will be able to demonstrate the area of planned excision to you.

 Best wishes.

Tummy tuck known as abdominoplasty will tighten the weakened abdominal wall and remove excess loose abdominal skin.   The procedure will typically remove the majority of stretch marks that are at the level of the belly button (umbilicus) and below.  It may remove some the stretch marks that are above the umbilicus but, this is determined by the amount of skin laxity.  For more information, see DRMEZROW.com

If your stretch marks are below the navel then most of them will be removed as a full tummy tuck the old navel will be pulled down to the pubis and a new navel will be made.  It will be very difficult to cut out the scar above your navel.

From the so kindly posted photo my answer is only 70 to 80% of the stretch marks will be gone. You just do not have enough tissue to stretch downward. See in person boarded PSs in your area. 

The stretch marks above the belly button will not be removed. The good news is that they will be lower and much less noticeable. The piercing should be gone. I would expect you to get a great result!

Thank you for submitting your question and photograph. A personal examination by a board certified plastic surgeon is necessary to truly answer your question.As a general rule when a full tummy tuck is done stretch marks from the upper level of your umbilicus or belly button down to the pubic region are typically removed. Often the belly button piercing hole can be removed as well.Stretch marks that extend significantly above your upper belly button often cannot be removed and still leave and acceptably low scar which can be well hidden with a bathing suit. Be sure to consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, experienced in tummy tuck surgery and who has a neck the reputation in your community.
