Umbilicoplasty, also known as belly button surgery, is a cosmetic procedure which improves the appearance of the navel (belly button). The procedure is designed to reshape the belly button, transforming a flat or downward-facing appearance into a more attractive, natural looking one. Umbilicoplasty is popular among people who want a smoother, neater looking belly button, especially after changes caused by pregnancy, weight loss, as well as aging.

Umbilicoplasty is normally performed on its own, but it is also frequently combined with other cosmetic surgeries such as tummy tucks and liposuction. In addition to reshaping, the procedure removes scar tissue from old piercings, corrects stretch marks around the area, and fixes small hernias near the belly button.

Umbilicoplasty works by making a small incision around the belly button. Through this incision, any excess skin or tissue that may be causing the belly button to appear stretched, saggy, or protruding will be removed. If necessary, the doctor can also correct any muscle separation near the belly button, which sometimes happens due to pregnancy or weight changes. In cases where umbilicoplasty is combined with other procedures, abdominal muscles may also be tightened to give a flatter, firmer stomach. The whole procedure is performed under local anesthesia, rest assured patients will not experience any pain.

1. Consultation and examination of the belly button condition will be done.
2. Local anesthesia will be applied to the area.
3. A small incision will be made to access the underlying tissue.
4. The tissue will be removed or adjusted to achieve the desired belly button shape.
