Resulting Scar, No Belly Button and Wrinkles After Umbilical Hernia Repair

February 11, 2011
Asked By:WhereIsIt in world

i had an umbilical hernia repair 6 months after giving birth in 2003, i was 18 at the time, the general surgeon that performed my surgery did not mention anything about loosing my belly button including getting wrinkles prior to surgery. nothing was discussed instead after the surgery, she informed me suprisingly that my belly button will be reconstructed, she never followed up with me so here i am 8 years later still trying to figure out how i will fix this problem.i am 26, 5'5 and weigh 127lbs
