Do you have to remove your belly button when you have a tummy tuck?

Usually not. In a fully tummy tuck, the umbilicus (bellybutton) is left attached to the body and the skin around the bellybutton is removed and pulled down to achieve tight abdominal contour. In certain cases, of a mini tummy tuck, the bellybutton is excised from the skin and pulled slightly downward in a slightly lower position to remove the small residual laxity of the upper abdominal skin. The slightly lower position of the umbilicus is not noticeable
