Deformed belly button after umbilical hernia repair. What can I do? (Photo)

Question

What can i do, my bellybutton looks horrible after the repair. Please help.

Remus Repta, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question and the photos.  It may be that you have lost depth to your belly button because the stalk is not attached to your abdominal wall or that either its "supra placed" or the abdominal tissue was detached and has slid down.  It is hard to know exactly what is occurring just from the photos but a belly button revision would likely repair whatever is occurring.  Sometimes if there is too much abdominal skin laxity present a tummy tuck may be needed but a photo showing your entire abdomen would be needed to determine that.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta
