Is there any way to reshape/fix a belly button? (Photo)

February 16, 2015
Asked By:newuser33 in Toronto, ON

My belly button is more of a "frown" shape due to failed belly button piercing. I also have a scar from the failed piercing. I don't really care about the scarring as much as the shape of my belly button itself. I'm wondering what surgery is available to fix the overall look/shape of my belly button. Any help is appreciated!

Yuly Gorodisky, DO, FACOS says:

Your belly button may have been stretched  to accommodate a large pregnant uterus and you now may have an umbilical hernia.  You should be examined to see if this is the case and you may consider a hernia repair. This would be a surgical procedure.  There are no non-surgical...
