Wanna get a tummy tuck but i have my belly button pierced? wondering what will happen to the piercing. I would prefer that it will be gone. Can that happen?

Answer: It will be gone
When I do a tummy tuck I remove all of the skin between the upper part of the belly button and the pubic region, thus the old piercing is removed. If you want to re-pierce the belly button you can do so about 6 months post operative.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Belly Button Piercing
In the vast majority of FULL Tummy Tuck operations, all the skin below the belly button and a variable amount of skin above it will be removed. The belly button is released and after the skin is pulled down, it is re-exited through the skin which used to be much higher. In most cases, the piercing can be removed; except for cases with a wide tunnel and a paucity of loose skin above the belly button.
I would discuss this with your Plastic surgeon and I am sure he would be glad to help you.
