Is Your Belly Button Removed in a Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Every surgical procedure we is tailored to the individual, because what works for one person may not work for another. Our approach is always personalised, whether it’s a tummy tuck or any other type of surgery.

To answer the question of whether your belly button stays in place or moves during a tummy tuck, it really depends on your specific situation.

However, as a general rule, we aim to your original belly button during the tummy tuck.

So, what happens to your belly button in this surgery?

Most of the time in a tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty), the goal is to keep your natural belly button. The surgeons will cut it free from the surrounding skin and then pull the tightened skin over it. A new opening is then made in the skin flap for your belly button to come through.

However, there are instances where keeping the original belly button isn’t possible. This usually happens when a patient has a large umbilical hernia that has altered the shape of the belly button or if the hernia is located directly behind it. In these exceptional cases, the surgeon may need to remove the existing belly button to repair the hernia properly. If that happens, we’ll create a new one for you, known as a neo-umbilicus, using the skin flap.

So while each case is different, you can be confident that our skilled surgeons will aim for the best possible aesthetic outcome for your belly button.

Why Does Your Belly Button Look Different After a Tummy Tuck?

If you’ve compared before-and-after of tummy tucks, you’ll likely notice some changes in how the belly button appears post-surgery. Several factors can contribute to this change.

One reason could be that the original shape of your belly button has been altered, often due to events like pregnancy or significant weight gain. Some people even request a new belly button during their tummy tuck procedure. For example, you may want to change your belly button if it turned from an “innie” to an “outie” during pregnancy, or you may simply want to enhance its appearance.

Even if your original belly button is retained during the tummy tuck, you might notice some differences in its appearance. This is often the skin around the belly button has been and during the procedure. This stretching can make your belly button look slightly different from how it did before surgery.

Additionally, its position on your abdomen may change, shifting higher or lower. This alteration in position is typically determined by what your surgeon feels will look the most natural and harmonious with your newly shaped abdomen.

Although the goal of a tummy tuck is often to preserve the natural belly button, factors, such as skin stretching or the surgical techniques used, can result in subtle changes to how your belly button looks post-surgery. Rest assured, however, that our skilled surgeons aim for the best possible aesthetic result to ensure your belly button complements your newly contoured tummy.
