What should patients know about the belly button during and after a tummy tuck with Dr. Kalsow?
A full tummy tuck necessitates revision of the belly button, and Dr. Kalsow places importance on its aesthetic appearance. Generally, belly buttons are made smaller, vertical, and three-dimensional. Common post-tummy tuck issues include belly buttons being too small (which can be made bigger), too big, or too circular (which are harder to make smaller due to existing incisions). A too visible scar around the belly button is also a common problem, often due to excess scarring, and can be treated with steroid injections. If a patient is dissatisfied with their belly button's appearance, options are available to improve it.
