What causes off center belly buttons? Obviously off center placement can and sometimes usuing the original belly button stum can as they aren't always centered properly to begin with. But is it possible that I just have swelling that is causing my belly button to look off centered? Would it be best to line new belly buttons up with the vagina?

Answer: Do you think this belly button will stay off center? Thank you for your question, and photograph, and I can see your area of concern. For all the reasons you mentioned belly buttons may be a bit off center, but unfortunately I do not think that yours will become more balanced with a resolution of swelling. I would wait 6 months or more for your results, and then evaluate whether a belly button revision is necessary, but be aware that it would leave you with an additional scar on your abdomen.

Answer: Swelling doesn't cause displacement of your belly button and yours is off center, plain and simple. There is a very small chance you started this way but then an attempt could have then been made to center it better when choosing the belly button site. Best to allow for full healing before making decisions. These off center belly buttons do happen to the best of us and you will need a revision to help move it to the left if you are willing to accept the scars that will result from that. Let your surgeon know and find out what options you have and what costs you are looking at so you can prepare.
