Can I bring back my outie/enlarge belly button with filler?

Question

As I have gotten older, my belly button has "disappeared". It gets covered by loose skin overhang. Can I enlarge the "button" with filler to make it look like I have a belly button again without having to have a more invasive procedure?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It's possible to use a filler to restore volume to the area around the belly button and create the appearance of a more prominent belly button. However, it's important to note that the filler will only be a temporary solution, and the results will eventually fade as the filler is absorbed by the body.

Additionally, the use of filler in this area carries some risks, including the possibility of infection, allergic reaction, or uneven results. Therefore, it's important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing any cosmetic procedure.

If you're concerned about the appearance of your belly button and the surrounding area, it may be beneficial to consult with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can evaluate your specific concerns and recommend a personalized treatment plan. Depending on the extent of the loose skin and other factors, a more invasive procedure such as a tummy tuck may be necessary to achieve the desired results.

Best of luck !
