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 Yes it appears like you have a small umbilical hernia. You also have a nice flat stomach. I would just have this fixed with a small incision inside your belly button. It will never appear as it did before you had babies but it will look better.

Answer: Umbilical hernia repair: Information Dear Ms. Mommybubbies,Thank you for your story and questions. Based on your photos you appear to be in fit condition. Unfortunately with out a exam of your tissues I can can only comment based on your comments and nothing substitutes for a personal evaluation and a face to face discussion of your options. However, hopefully the following will be helpful.Unbilical hernia repair and diastasis repair are most often completed in conjunction with a abdominoplasty( tummy tuck).+ the excess lower abdominal skin will be excised and the skin over the diastasis repair will lay down smooth+/- you will have a single supra public (covered by a bathing suit bottom) and the umbilical hernia can be repaired without making a peri umbilical incision. A alternative is peri umbilical incision which can often be concealed by its location but still visable.Many Plastic Surgeons are dual Bd. Cert. (Both General and Plastic Surgery) and by their training and experience are abel to repair both your umbilical hernia and diastasis.I suggest you make several consultative appointments with Plastic Surgeons who are Certified by the Am. Bd. of Plastic Surgery and ideally a members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).I wish you my best and success,R.

Answer: Hernia? Hello, Thank you for your question. It's difficult to say without a full assessment. I'd recommend booking a consultation with a surgeon to determine what your options would be. All the best.

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.
