Umbilicoplasty: An umbilicoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the belly button. It can be performed alone or in conjunction with a tummy tuck to address an umbilical hernia, an inverted or protruding belly button, or improve the overall aesthetic outcome.

Pros:
Creates a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing belly button
Can address functional issues like umbilical hernias

Cons:
Additional surgery and potential for complications
Scarring around the belly button

Alternatives:
Leaving the belly button as is (may not achieve the desired cosmetic outcome)

Recovery Time:
Recovery is typically short, with minimal restrictions on activity.

Disclaimer: While umbilicoplasty can improve the appearance of your belly button, it’s important to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to understand the risks and benefits. The procedure itself may have minimal downtime, but remember that any surgery carries potential complications. Be sure to discuss your expectations thoroughly with your surgeon.
