In my practice i ask the tummy tuck patients during the first consultation to lie on their back flat.
Belly button after tummy tuck marble.
A mini tummy tuck is much less invasive than a full tummy tuck and the surgeon does not need to reposition.
However a tummy tuck won t correct stretch marks outside of this area.
Many times your new belly button will be too small or maybe a bit misshapen at first.

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.
A tummy tuck can also remove stretch marks and excess skin in the lower abdomen below the bellybutton.
But you can alter the shape and size of your belly button.
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.
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.
You may have heard of the marble trick on our message board and thought how weird.
