I have a horizontal looking belly button for the last 20 years and would like advice on what I can do to fix it. Options?

Question

I have been searching for solutions on how to improve the look of my belly button but the only recommendation that I have been given so far is to get a tummy tuck. Seeing as I still expect to have children one day, this solution just doesn't work for me at this time. Are there any other procedure that a doctor can recommend that would help me fix my belly button to look more oval?

Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your photos you do not seem to need a tummy tuck, you would benefit from a liposuction and umbilicoplasty to reshape your belly button. I recommend you to schedule an email or Skype consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

Dear Gtmm81,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
