Umbilicoplasty Revision After Full Tummy Tuck, Thin Patient

July 15, 2011
Asked By:Samantha4296 in Roseville, CA

I am 5'7, 130 lbs, athletic, with a lot of abdominal muscle tone.I had a full TT done in November 2010.My belly button didn't have any depth after my TT so in February 2011 we decided to do an umbilicoplasty to try and correct the problem.The revision, again, didn't turn out as we hoped. My belly button is flat with zero depth.I'm scheduled for another revision in just a few months but I am a little discouraged.Is it going to be difficult for my doctor to correct this mistake?Any advice?
