Is there an awake procedure for umblicoplasty? And what age can one get one

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear janetzeviera,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, umbillicoplasty can be done under local anesthesia. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Surgery can be done on belly buttons, and usually is done after you have had all the children you want. Pregnancy stretches belly buttons.
