I have lost over 6 stones and I have an apron of extra that I would like to be rid of
Q. I have lost over 6 stones and I have an apron of extra that I would like to be rid of. The problem a friend told me that my belly button would need to be moved. Is this true, and if it is, why? I like my belly button just fine where it is. He also a new one would have to be made in a new spot. This really concerns me. Will this look unnatural or strange in any way?
A. I think you might have been given some misinformation here! When we perform a tummy tuck we remove all the tissue from the belly button down to the pubic region and the abdominal skin stretches downwards. To prevent the belly button from moving downwards with the skin, we cut a hole around the belly button to make sure it stays in the same place, and when we stitch the skin back in place we cut a new hole in the replaced skin so that the belly button doesn’t move.
