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. Neoumbilicoplasty is one way to avoid this problem. A new belly button is created. A neoumbilicoplasty can look very nice in the right person. It's not a good choice for everyone, so discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon so that you can decide which procedure is right for you.
An umbilical hernia repair is typically performed by a general surgeon. The main priority is fixing the hernia in a way that it will not recur. General surgery training typically includes an incision either above or below the umbilicus which leaves behind a visible horizontal scar.Umbilicoplasty is typically performed by a plastic surgeon. This is a cosmetic procedure with scars hidden within the confines of the umbilical creases. The goal is to create a more aesthetically pleasing belly button that the onlooker cannot detect has been manipulated. During the course of an umbilicoplasty, the plastic surgeon may need to repair a hernia.Occasionally, the plastic and general surgeon may work together on such cases. I have one in the blog post below if you care to have a look. The operation was a real test of the negotiating skills from my general surgeon friend and myself, but I think we did okay between the two of us. Have a look.Good Luck!

Thank you for your question.With regards to Belly Button surgery, this doesn't address anything beyond the belly button area, meaning it won't address the excess skin, or firm it up for that matter. With regards to after pregnancy, the abdomen is normally one of the first things women bring up. ...
The area around the umbilicus for the vast majority of women is the area of maximal prominence and expansion of the abdomen during pregnancy, and thus the area of maximal tension on the skin and maximal disruption of the skin's elastic fibers. That is why so many women, you included, have...
Thank you for your question. Have your BB evaluated by your surgeon, and get clearance for a piercing. Or you could even ask them to do it for you. I hope this helps!
It is true that a lot of newborn umbilical hernias will go away by age 3. With you, it remained. This would be covered by health insurance when you have coverage. It is a simple outpatient procedure. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
