With practices in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, FL, you receive care focused on helping you feel confident in both your outcome and overall experience.
How Your Belly Button Is Recreated
During a tummy tuck, your surgeon reshapes and repositions your belly button so it appears natural on your newly tightened abdomen. You can expect your surgeon to preserve the original navel while bringing it through a new small opening in the skin. This process helps maintain a realistic appearance that suits your body shape after excess skin is removed and the abdominal wall is tightened.
What Determines Your Final Belly Button Appearance
Several factors influence your result:
Your Natural Anatomy
Your original belly button shape serves as the foundation for the final result. Because your natural navel is preserved, the look typically remains familiar but enhanced.
Skin Tightening and Muscle Repair
As loose skin is removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened, your belly button may look more defined, centered, and refined than before.
Scar Placement and Healing
Your surgeon’s technique determines how discreet the belly button scar appears. Most patients find the resulting scar becomes minimally noticeable as it fades.
Personalized Surgical Technique
Dr. Jarial customizes the incision and reshaping based on your proportions. This helps create a natural inward contour rather than a stretched or overly round look that sometimes occurs with less precise techniques.
What You Can Expect During Recovery
Swelling around the navel is normal in the early healing stages. Over the next few weeks, the shape becomes more refined as swelling decreases. Following your aftercare instructions closely supports smoother healing and helps your belly button settle into its final appearance.
