I lost my belly button because of surgery. Can a new belly button made again?

Losing a belly button following a tummy tuck is very rare but can happen. We can create a new belly button from the surrounding skin.

A new belly button can be created by making an incision and sewing the skin down to the fascia.   Doesn't look perfect but will look like a belly button.  So sorry this happened to you. It can be repaired.  Look for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.Good Luck,Andrew Cohen MD

Just as nipples can be reconstructed after breast cancer surgery, a new belly button can be reconstructed from adjacent abdominal tissue. The technique is called umbilicoplasty and can be performed easily under local or twilight anesthesia. Make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the procedure in more detail.
