Will my stomach be flat after a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck removes loose skin and tightens abdominal muscles, which can improve shape and firmness. Results vary depending on your body and goals.

Do you get a new belly button with a tummy tuck?

Your belly button stays in the same place but may be reshaped or repositioned slightly, depending on how much skin is removed.
