Is there any way to reshape/fix a belly button? (Photo)

February 16, 2015
Asked By:newuser33 in Toronto, ON

My belly button is more of a "frown" shape due to failed belly button piercing. I also have a scar from the failed piercing. I don't really care about the scarring as much as the shape of my belly button itself. I'm wondering what surgery is available to fix the overall look/shape of my belly button. Any help is appreciated!

Thomas P. Sterry, MD says:

We can fix that.  Go to a local plastic surgeon that does a lot of tummy tucks and I'm sure he or she can handle this little problem.  It's a fairly simple procedure, but each one is different.  I wouldn't imagine any new scars should be visible when it's all done.Good Luck!

Austin Hayes, MD says:

Thank you for your question. Umbilicoplasty is not the same as a hernia repair. When considering a simultaneous hernia repair along with a tummy tcuk, the concern is that a tummy tuck surgery could cause the belly button belly button to not have enough blood flow and it could die. Neou...
