Tummy Tucks are one of the three most popular operations for patients at Perfect Doctors Clinic in Dubai. If you’re worried about what will happen to your belly button following a tummy tuck, you’re in good company. Most plastic surgeons would say that belly button rebuilding is a significant, if not the most important, part of a tummy tuck.
Today we will tell you all you need to know about the design of the belly button.
Tummy Tuck In Dubai
A tummy tuck in Dubai is a surgical body-contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and improve the shape of the abdomen. Also known as abdominoplasty, it may also involve tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles to create a firmer and flatter midsection. The procedure is often considered after pregnancy, significant weight loss, aging, or changes in body shape that leave loose skin around the stomach. A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss treatment and is generally most suitable for people who are close to a stable weight. Depending on individual needs, the surgeon may recommend a full tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, or extended tummy tuck. Liposuction can sometimes be combined with the procedure to improve abdominal contouring. Recovery usually takes several weeks, and patients are advised to limit strenuous activity during early healing. Results can be long-lasting when supported by a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and stable body weight.
What To Know About Your Belly Button After a Tummy Tuck
The Aesthetics of Your Belly Button
As a kid, maybe you remember comparing your belly button to your brothers’ and sisters’ or friends’. If you had an “outie,” you undoubtedly spent much too much time hoping for a nicer belly button, that perfectly round depression, not too shallow and not too deep, somewhat more horizontal than vertical.
Or maybe you had a really lovely belly button till pregnancy totally transformed all that landscape. When you gain weight, either from pregnancy and childbirth or some other weight gain, your stomach grows. And so does the way your belly button looks. Instead of being spherical and tight, it can become ambiguous or even move to a different position. If you have a lot of additional skin, your belly button may be huge. It might stretch out and look more like a slit. Or it may be fully concealed by blending in with the surrounding skin.
This normally develops slowly over time, and we forget it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s where a tummy tuck comes in!
A Tummy Tuck Needs a Well-Designed Belly Button
A tummy tuck is the ideal procedure to remove extra skin and fat from your stomach area. Liposuction is less intrusive, but has limited ability to tighten flabby skin. For patients who have been pregnant, lost a lot of weight, or have skin that has lost its elasticity with age, liposuction alone will not give you a completely flat tummy. Only a belly tuck can do it for you.
But you might ask: What happens to my belly button if I undergo a tummy tuck?
What Happens to the Belly Button During a Tummy Tuck
In tummy tuck surgery, a plastic surgeon removes extra fat and skin from the patient using excision. Depending on the sort of tummy tuck you have, he or she may also repair the abdominal muscle if it is torn or split (a common occurrence after pregnancy and childbirth called diastasis recti). This is going to move things around quite a bit as you can imagine, so unless you have it reconstructed, your belly button is most likely not going to be in a natural-looking place.
Fortunately, competent plastic surgeons know just what to do. And better yet, there are so many methods in which you can create a belly button; maybe now is your moment to get your wish of a flawless belly button!

How Belly Button Reconstruction Works
Choosing a Plastic Surgeon for Your New Belly Button
Plastic surgery is based on medical knowledge, but is often as much an art as it is a science. A skilled plastic surgeon has an eye for aesthetics, for what is attractive to the eye, for the proper proportion. Our belly button is a minor area of our body, yet its placement and shape can have a big impact on our entire look.
Belly button rebuilding or umbilicoplasty can be performed as a stand-alone procedure but is commonly performed in conjunction with tummy tuck surgery or even as part of a full Mommy Makeover.
A smart plastic surgeon realizes that a belly tuck is about more than a flat tummy.
Planning Your Belly Button Design and Reconstruction
You may have heard of a “designer navel.” A tummy tuck is a bit of a misnomer in that it is excessive to have one just to achieve a better belly button. However, it is always recommended to discuss the preferred location and shape of your belly button with your plastic surgeon at your pre-surgery appointment.
“Bring in pictures of particular belly buttons you like,” he says. It may seem unusual, but it will enable your surgeon to better understand your aesthetic aspirations. If you take along sample images to your hairdresser to show them the style you want, why not do the same when you meet with your cosmetic surgeon to discuss your tummy tuck and belly button placement?
Moving the Belly Button During Tummy Tuck Surgery
During a tummy tuck, a little incision is made around your belly button. The belly button is left linked to the abdominal wall underneath. Now he can pull the freed skin taut and remove any underlying fat. Once the stomach is totally flat and the skin is tightened, the surgeon relocates the belly button to the most aesthetically attractive position and attaches it to the skin. The good news is that because of the shape of the belly button, it is not particularly difficult to hide a scar inside of it; thus, there is no need to worry about scarring!
The stitches, however, can be easily hidden in the folds of the belly button, but the right shaping and placement require the touch of a talented cosmetic surgeon.
If you have a bit of loose skin, your belly button might already look rather normal. If this is the case, your surgeon may choose to merely remove some layers of fat without having to fix any muscles or reposition the belly button. This is also known as a “mini tummy tuck.” Mini tummy tucks often can be performed with a smaller scar than a complete tummy tuck.
If you’re uncomfortable with your excess tummy flab, it may be time for a tummy tuck and a new belly button. Make an appointment with a plastic surgeon for a personal consultation.
