You may have heard of the marble trick on our message board and thought how weird.
Belly button after tummy tuck marble.
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 it has worked for many a tummy tuck patient.
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.
A tummy tuck can remove loose excess skin and fat and tighten weak fascia.
In my practice i ask the tummy tuck patients during the first consultation to lie on their back flat.
A mini tummy tuck is much less invasive than a full tummy tuck and the surgeon does not need to reposition.
Many times your new belly button will be too small or maybe a bit misshapen at first.

But you can alter the shape and size of your belly button.
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.
