I want to in a way fill in my belly button or just a layer of skin over it.

Question

I know it sounds weird, but I just find a belly button to be odd and I don't like it. So can this procedure be done with either filling it, or a layer of skin over it. Also if it can be done how much would this procedure cost?

I appreciate your question.A picture would be helpful, but there is a way to tuck the belly button in if thats the issueThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thank you for your question.  Technically, it is possible to remove your belly button completely, but this would leave you with a scar along the middle of your stomach.  Attempts to "fill" the belly button with fat may lessen your belly button's appearance, but if you wanted as smooth and uniform of a stomach as possible, then surgical excision would be the best method.
