Is there any way to relocate a belly button to its original position after a tummy tuck with floating belly button surgery?

Asked By:301Linda in Waldorf, MD

I had a tummy tuck with a floating belly button procedure. My belly button was moved approximately 3 inches lower than its normal position. This was needed to remove the excess skin on my stomach. Is there a surgery to relocate it back to where it was or at least closer to the original position? Is there any fix for this problem?
