If I Get a Tummy Tuck, What Happens to Stretch Marks Above Belly Button?

Hi lluvyanna, You are an excellent candidate for Tummy Tuck. The stretch marks between the Belly button will be removed. The stretch marks above the belly button will not be removed. they will get pulled down and will be less noticeable.

The stretch marks above the belly button will look tighter and better. Most of them would not be visible with typical bathing suite.

Please ask your surgeon and he will show you Before and After pictures of patients with similar anatomy. You will find that visually seeing the after picture to be very helpful.

Overall, you should have a very nice result.

Hope this was helpful.

Removing all the stretch marks is not realsistc. The vast majoriy below your belly button will be excised, However, most of the strechmarks above the belly button will remain but be transferred below your new umbilicus.                                                                                                                                   

Hi,

As you are aware, you can only really count on removal of the stretch marks between the umbilicus and the pubic area. Given that the stretch marks above the belly button are light, however, tightening them has the effect of making them smoother and less noticeable. Although there's no such thing as a stretch mark eraser, transposing and tightening them will certainly lead to a noticeable improvement.
