Umbilicoplasty
Belly button surgery, also known as umbilicoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape or appearance of your belly button. It’s often chosen after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or to address an abdominal hernia, helping restore the belly button’s natural look. While it’s frequently done alongside other procedures, umbilicoplasty can also be carried out on its own.

Why Consider Umbilicoplasty?
Old belly button piercings or scars from rejected piercings can sometimes leave marks that affect the appearance of your belly button. Umbilicoplasty is especially helpful if the scar is on the ring of skin around the belly button or inside its indentation.
If the scar is located elsewhere, such as above the belly button, a scar revision procedure might be a better option. This involves reducing the appearance of scars through surgical or topical treatments.
Preparing for Your Surgery
To ensure the best possible outcome:
- Stop smoking several weeks before your procedure.
- Maintain a stable, healthy weight to reduce the risk of complications.
- Engage in regular exercise (always consult your GP beforehand).
- Avoid shaving or waxing the area for a week before surgery.
- Take a shower or bath on the day of your procedure.
Recovery After Umbilicoplasty
Recovery is typically quick. Most people return to work within 1-2 days, though you should wait a few weeks before resuming strenuous activities or exercise. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s aftercare advice and take any prescribed medications as directed.

Umbilicoplasty FAQ
The procedure typically takes about an hour.
As with any surgical procedure, there are minor risks, such as infection, bruising, or swelling. These are rare and can be minimised with proper aftercare and by choosing a qualified surgeon.
Umbilicoplasty scars are usually small and discreet, hidden within the natural folds of the belly button. Over time, they fade with proper care.
