The tummy tuck is one of the common surgical operations performed to achieve the hourglass body that most women dream of. However, some patients fear this procedure because there are many after results. If you are one of the aspiring women who want to achieve the waist wasp body through a tummy tuck, you need to understand that there will be scarring and some issues regarding the said procedure.
Recreating the belly button is one of the most important aspects of a well-performed tummy tuck. If you have had a baby, you may notice that your belly button has certain characteristics. Excessive skin tends to fall over the belly button, negatively affecting it. The belly button also gets larger and, because of the amount of excess skin, shallower. In some situations, patients develop an umbilical hernia. As a result, it creates a bulge in the belly button that negatively impacts the overall aesthetic. Take note that a nice belly button has the following characteristics:
- It is small, 1 cm or less in diameter.
- It is deep.
- It has a good appearance on the top.
When the belly button is recreated, aesthetic guidelines should be used. Controlling the tension when the belly button is recreated is important because when the abdominal flap is pulled, the belly button can become elongated and the scar can lie on the outside of the abdominal flap. Controlling the tension of the closure, the belly button is made small and deep, and the natural hood is created. Recreating the belly button is important for the overall aesthetic of the abdomen. If no attention is paid to the belly button, your results will not be as impressive, even if you are pleased with how tight your belly is after surgery. For you to be satisfied, better consult with your surgeon.
