Umbilicoplasty is a procedure that changes the appearance of a distorted navel and corrects its position, size, and shape.
Navel reshaping is indicated for people with umbilical hernia, ageing, weight loss, post-pregnancy as part of tummy tuck, following an injury, birth deformity, and scarring due to piercing.
The procedure aims to create a vertical and a youthful looking navel. The procedure is generally done under local anaesthesia with sedation or regional anaesthesia.
Navel reshaping is indicated for people with umbilical hernia, ageing, weight loss, post-pregnancy as part of tummy tuck, following an injury, birth deformity, and scarring due to piercing.
To alter the shape, small incisions are made around the navel. The navel is tucked and shaped through delicate artistic suturing to recreate an aesthetically pleasing belly button.
Recovery time for umbilicoplasty is short, usually taking 2-3 days time
Pain and swelling are minimal.
Patient can return home on the same day after the surgery and can resume normal activity within a couple of days. The sutures for umbilicoplasty are absorbable and need not be removed.
As with any other surgical procedure, umbilicoplasty may be associated with risks
like infection, bleeding and rarely healing issues like stitch granulomas.
The scar will be hidden inside your belly button, making it virtually invisible.
People who are unhappy with the appearance of their belly button, may undergo
Umbilicoplasty.
Patients can return back to work within 48 hours. The recovery time may be longer
if one has a combined umbilicoplasty with umbilical hernia.
