Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I just thought I'd chime in here. I had my abdominoplasty two years ago TODAY! My plastic surgeon, Dr. Ciletti, removed 8 lbs of skin and fat, and I ended up with a perfectly normal looking belly button (which he had to reconstruct). You can't even see the scar since it is in the interior of my belly button. Truly, it's a work of art. I'd feel a bit strange without a belly button. It's so nice to have someone kiss it or run his fingers around it (oops... I'll stop there before I reveal too much).
