Belly Button Correction, or Umbilicoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed by a skilled plastic surgeon to enhance the appearance of the belly button. It can address various concerns such as an enlarged, protruding, or asymmetrical belly button, excess skin around the area, or scarring.
During your initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate your belly button’s current state and discuss your desired outcome. They will explain the details of the procedure, including the incision technique, potential scarring, and expected results. This consultation is an opportunity to address any concerns or questions you may have.
Belly Button Correction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and your surgeon’s recommendation. The specific technique used will depend on the individual’s unique situation and goals.
The surgeon will carefully make incisions and remove excess skin or tissue as necessary to reshape the belly button. If there is scarring or irregularities, these can be addressed to achieve a more natural appearance. The incisions are meticulously closed using sutures, and the surgeon will take every measure to minimize scarring.

Following the Umbilicoplasty procedure, you will be provided with detailed post-treatment care instructions by your surgeon. It is essential to follow these instructions to promote proper healing and achieve optimal results. You may be advised to wear a compression garment or bandage to support the area during the initial healing phase.
In the days following the surgery, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Your surgeon will prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort you may experience. It is important to avoid any strenuous activities or movements that could strain the treated area during the initial weeks of recovery.
Over time, as your body heals, the swelling will subside, and you will begin to see the improved appearance of your belly button. Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that you are healing properly.
The final results of your Belly Button Correction will become more apparent as the healing process progresses. Initially, there may be some visible scarring, but with proper scar care and time, the scars will fade and become less noticeable. It is crucial to protect the area from sun exposure during the healing phase and beyond by covering it or applying a high-factor sunscreen.
As the healing continues, any numbness or sensitivity around the belly button area should gradually improve, and normal sensation will likely return. The final results of the Umbilicoplasty can be seen within a few months, and the improvements achieved are typically long-lasting.
While complications are rare, like any surgical procedure, Belly Button Correction carries certain risks. These can include infection, poor wound healing, bleeding, scarring, or changes in skin sensation. Your surgeon will thoroughly discuss these risks with you during your consultation and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
