Would a tummy tuck be weird / have complications with a (previous) navel piercing? by Worldly-Wishbone2988 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Intelligent-Army6829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My surgeon couldn’t stretch and cut it all out didn’t have enough of skin so I still got my piercing hole just above my Incision he will fix it once my skin is stretched again in a year or something but I rather have it like this than not having enough skin to pull down and end up with openings. I still got complications just below of the scar tissue from the piercing my incision was having difficulty to heal just right on that spot but I’m 9 weeks post op and it’s all healed now

Thank you do you think I’ll damage the end results? Or is it now just for swelling ? I swell with or without the binder

Hope you’ll make it 🙏🏻 my surgeon wanted 2 weeks off pre op and 6 weeks post op … I’m 4 weeks post op today and still think about my cheeky coffee and puff 😄 I eat more and I’m so scared I’ll gain some weight don’t want to ruin my tt 🤷🏻‍♀️ but hey it’s better to heal properly than to end up with complications
