Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers, thank you for all you do and mean to us🙏🌼

During a tummy tuck, the management of the belly button is crucial for achieving natural-looking results:

1. Preserving Nature: In most tummy tucks, the umbilical stalk is preserved. This is the tissue that forms your natural belly button.The stalk remains attached to the abdominal muscles, maintaining its original connection and contour. This ensures a seamless and natural appearance post-surgery.

2. The Umbilical Float Technique: In cases where the belly button needs relocation due to uneven skin distribution, the ‘umbilical float’ technique is used. Here, the stalk is delicately detached from the abdominal muscles, moved to its new position, and reconnected, ensuring a harmonious and balanced look.

Following postoperative instructions diligently, will further facilitate a natural-looking belly button post-surgery.💫

 

Wishing all our clients a festive and happy Easter break during the school holidays. There is nothing more important than the value of family and loved ones. Take care ✨
