Belly Button Reconstruction

Belly button reconstruction, or umbilicoplasty, is a relatively routine procedure to enhance the appearance of the belly button. Usually, the surgery is performed in less than an hour with local anesthesia and the patient can drive themselves home after the belly button surgery.

Most patients who seek out belly button reconstruction are looking for a vertical belly button surgery, with an oval shape. Common reasons to undergo a belly button reconstruction include:

• The belly button has been misshapen from birth and they don’t like the way it looks.
• The belly button is an “outie” and patients would like to alter the shape.
• The belly button was deformed from an injury or prior belly button surgery.
• The belly button has changed shape from weight loss, weight gain, pregnancy or age.
• Belly Button Reconstruction consultation information is just a phone call away, (210) 270-8595.

Belly button reconstruction, also known as umbilicoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance or recreate the appearance of the navel. This intervention is commonly sought by individuals who have undergone abdominal surgeries, experienced changes due to pregnancy, or simply wish to address aesthetic concerns related to their belly button. The procedure involves reshaping the existing belly button or creating a new one to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing and natural look. Surgeons may use various techniques, such as reshaping the skin around the navel or adjusting the depth and contour of the belly button. Belly button reconstruction is often performed in conjunction with other abdominal cosmetic surgeries like tummy tucks or body contouring procedures to achieve a harmonious overall result. As with any cosmetic surgery, individuals considering belly button reconstruction should consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their goals, expectations, and determine the most suitable approach for their unique anatomy.
