Update on piercing hole
WORTH IT$13,000
Wow, this has been an emotional roller coaster - my feelings about my new body go up & down from day to day. It's a strange feeling having your stomach altered - a new belly button, new incisions & a totally different muscular look. The piercing hole is really very small & insignificant. To Dr. Feng's defense - I never pointed it out to her & I never requested that it be gone. I just assumed it would be gone with how close it was to my belly button. It has become less noticeable the last few days & my skin seems to pucker there less & less. I am going to give it 1 month to see how it progresses & to see if I want it revised by a doctor. Regarding the new incision around my belly button- it seems to look smaller some days & larger other days, so I'm going to give that some time too. I have to say that my skin looks fantastic & very natural the way that it lays. It doesn't look pulled downward at all. It looks very nice! And my lower incision is so tiny - the thickness of the line hip to hip - that I know her sutures are very small. So overall she really did a fantastic top-notch job! I'm just emotional - I wasn't expecting a hole in my lower skin & I have to get used to it. And I wish I hadn't stretched so much at 5 weeks! Although it reduced swelling, it definitely stretched my belly button. Hind sight is always 20-20!
I hope anyone reading this can learn from my story. My advice is to stand as upright as possible following the abdominoplasty & to be gentle with your body for the 1st three months. The swelling will go down & you won't know your results for at least 8 weeks. And remember to be grateful for you repaired internal muscles- the most important part of the surgery.

The belly piercing hole has stretched more & there are more stretch marks surrounding it. I'm disappointed Dr. Feng left the hole & also that she didn't ask me if I wanted it to stay or go. Also, the new incision around my belly button has stretched & doesnt look as nice as it after surgery.

And when I spoke to Dr. Feng about my concerns at my follow up appointment she said that she has never revised a belly piercing hole & that all her clients opt to keep it. She said it disappears (which it hasn't, it's only gotten worse), & she said she won't touch it until I'm 1 year post op.

From this I understand you need to make it clear what your expectations are before surgery so you are both on the same page no assumptions.

Now being a couple years since surgery are you pleased? I’m in need of umbilical hernia surgery & am trying to decide if I want Dr. Feng to do it. She did my breast implant removal & I couldn’t be happier. This is another journey

What's the cut under your belly button for

That's the hole that was closed from around my old belly button. I didn't have enough skin in my upper abdomen to get it down lower.

Dr. Feng does excellent work. I wish I could have my surgery now but I have to get my numbers under control. You do look amazing.
