Belly Button Surgery (Umbilicoplasty)

Whether it’s in crop tops or bikinis, the belly button is increasingly on show. However, many people feel self-conscious about their navel. If you were born with a belly button shape you don't like, or if pregnancy or weight changes have left your navel uneven, saggy or misshapen, Belly Button Surgery can improve the form and help boost your confidence.

An umbilical hernia can cause a prominent outie. The experienced plastic surgeons at Bella Vou can improve the cosmetic appearance of your belly button and treat the structural abnormality, to prevent any potential problems with the hernia and help you look better.

At Bella Vou, your Belly Button Surgery is usually carried out under local anaesthetic as a day case procedure, meaning you won’t need to stay in the clinic overnight.

The specialist plastic surgeon makes a small cut around the rim of the belly button. Any excess skin is removed, the belly button and any hernias are repaired. The surgeon will then pull the skin taut and suture it closed.

The belly button will be reshaped and rejuvenated, with the scar discreetly hidden in the folds of the navel rim.

At Bella Vou, most procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic, to reduce downtime and allow you to return to normal activities quickly.

Most people can get back to work in 2-3 days following Belly Button Surgery. It’s important to avoid moving the midriff as much as possible, to let the scar heal and to reduce the risk of stretching the scar. You should avoid exercise for two weeks, then gradually increase activity.
