3 kids, carried all 3 all out front, stretched out skin with muscle seperation. How do I get my belly button to look normal again and could it be an umbilical hernia?

Answer: Umbilical Hernia? Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. You have done a great job of getting back in shape after your three children! Depending on the amount of correction needed you may be able to combine the umbilical hernia repair with an umbilicoplasty procedure to improve your belly button's appearance, or if you have a significant muscle separation, a larger procedure such as a tummy tuck. Hope this helps.

Answer: Umbilical Hernia? Thank you for your question and photos. Without a physical exam I cannot say for sure that it is an umbilical hernia, but it is quite likely. A general surgeon will often repair umbilical hernias, or it could be performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck. Hope that helps. Best, Dr. Kludt
