• Friday October 20, 2006 | Posted in: Plastic Surgery Procedures

  As a tethering point in the moving belly, navel attracts attention. The navel or belly button can be the focal point of the abdomen.  The beauty of one's navel is a matter of shape, depth and protrusion.  

  The exposed belly button concerns many especially if bikini bathing suits are a required wear. Also, summer clothing fashions, such as bare midriff, can reveal and expose.  Meanwhile, fashion and jewelry can emphasize the belly button – such is the advent of navel piercing (but that’s another story).
      
  “Ugly” belly button is not only a woman’s concern.  The male belly button can be exposed in certain sports, exercising, and recreational activities. For the aesthetic conscious, a distorted belly button can detract from a well-sculpted body.

  For those embarrassed with their belly buttons and abdominal contours, tummy tuck abdominoplasty and belly button sculpture can help.  

  In addition, there are other options for belly button plastic surgery.  Depending on the problem to be treated, belly button umbilicoplasty presents several options.   The procedure by itself can reshape the belly button and can actually make a new navel.  Belly button umbilicoplasty is often a part of abdominoplasty tummy tuck surgery if problems extend beyond to general abdominal tissues.     
   
  More commonly in individuals with an “outie” belly button, excess skin is removed as part of umbilicoplasty.  The process involves sutures and sculpting of the remaining tissues into the “new” belly button.   Extra care though is applied when trying to remove excessive surrounding loose skin from the belly button as this could result in undesirable deformities.

  On the other hand, belly button sculpture is an option to correct deformities of the navel. There are different surgical techniques to sculpt a belly button, the type of which depends on the problem to be treated.

  For any type of belly button surgery, incisions are done inside.   Typical belly button surgery can be done under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.  

  When belly button umbilicoplasty is done by itself, recuperation can be fast.  In fact, most patients are able to start light activities the day after surgery. Limitations to activities depend on the sculpture performed.  Early on in the healing, the new belly button shape shall have evolved nicely, however, the sculpted tissues need to be protected.
