If you only have a small amount of loose skin on your stomach or have developed a fat deposit under the belly button due to age or having children you may be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck.
Belly button after tummy tuck marble.
Many times your new belly button will be too small or maybe a bit misshapen at first.
In my practice i ask the tummy tuck patients during the first consultation to lie on their back flat.
The surgeon tightened the muscles but due to excessive fat intra peritoneally for your own safety he could not flatten the stomach to avoid breathing difficulty after surgery.
The idea is that by placing a marble into a newly constructed belly button you help your belly button conform to the shape of the marble.
However a tummy tuck won t correct stretch marks outside of this area.
A mini tummy tuck is much less invasive than a full tummy tuck and the surgeon does not need to reposition.
But it has worked for many a tummy tuck patient.
The marble trick is used to deepen or stretch out a belly button after a tummy tuck to make it look rounder and perfectly circular.
But you can alter the shape and size of your belly button.
