During a traditional tummy tuck procedure, your belly button will be repositioned to the ideal spot on your new abdominal skin. However, some individuals do not have enough excess skin to have their original belly button opening removed with the excess skin. For these patients, if they mainly have excess skin in the lower belly, they may be candidates for an umbilical-float tummy tuck, in which the umbilicus remains whole, and ultimately scar-free. Others may have a combination of minimal excess skin and no separation of abdominal muscles. These patients may be good candidates for a mini-tummy tuck. Various options exist for the various types of bodies! As such, come in for a consultation with tummy tuck expert, Dr. Grace Graw, and she will thoroughly discuss these options with you.
