During a tummy tuck surgery<\/a>, the belly button is often repositioned to match the new contours of the abdomen.

So, does your belly button look different after a tummy tuck?<\/span><\/p>\n

The appearance of your belly button will likely change after a tummy tuck. Dr. Sessa makes every effort to make the belly button look as natural as possible. Additionally, if you have any enhancements you want to make, such as making the belly button smaller, this can often be done.<\/span><\/p>\n
