After umbilical hernia repair, I have no belly button and a huge horizontal scar. What can I do? (photo)

A full tummy tuck may help move the scar lower on your abdomen.  Making a new belly button is often challenging but can be done.  Make sure your new surgeon is board certified by the American Board of plastic surgery.  Good Luck! 

Hello, I have starred at your photos for a while in order to understand what was the reason for this atrocious scar in order to repair an umbilical hernia. Did you ask your surgeon or did he inform you if there was any complications during the surgery? It just doesn't make any sense. Good news for you is that this can be fixed by doing a complete tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. Most important thing here is that the surgeon who'll operate performs a detailed physical exam and has enough imaging support to know what he/she will find during the surgery. Also, that you do not go back to that surgeon. Wish you the best with your outcome, Dr. Fernandez Goico

My advice would be for you to seek the advice of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can examine you in person and come up with the best plan forward.He or she will ask you pertinent questions such as the timing of the previous surgery, your healing history, and etc.  They will then examine you and develop the most appropriate direction to take at this stage.Best of luck.
