Umbilicoplasty is a plastic surgery that is aimed at correcting the shape and size of the navel.
Umbilicoplasty is a plastic surgery that is aimed at correcting the shape and size of the navel.

General information

Navel correction surgery can be performed in two cases:

  • as an independent procedure to change the appearance of this part of the abdomen and give it a more aesthetic correct contour and shape;
  • as an accompanying procedure used in other surgeries, such as abdominoplasty or hernia removal.
In most cases, the goal of the surgery is to give the navel a funnel shape, making it neat and miniature.

Procedure

Preparation

If umbilicoplasty is an additional surgery, the patient is under general anesthesia during the procedure. If the navel correction is an independent procedure, local anesthesia is sufficient. In preparation for umbilicoplasty, it is necessary to take blood clotting tests, check the immune system, and determine the presence or absence of heart, liver, and kidney diseases in the patient.

The process of performing navel correction

The operation lasts from half an hour to an hour and a half and has three main types of action:

  • during the correction of the navel shape, a series of tissue incisions are made, through which the depth and size of the navel are formed;
  • if it is necessary to remove the bulge, the skin is excised;
  • if it is necessary to reconstruct the navel, the plastic surgeon takes the necessary skin from the patient's abdomen.

In most cases, scars are masked directly in the navel.

Rehabilitation period

The rehabilitation period does not take much time. In most cases, the patient will be able to go home immediately after the procedure. But he is contraindicated in physical activity for a certain period of time, as specified by the doctor. Solarium, sauna and swimming pool should be completely excluded for this period of time.

Indications

Indications for this operation are all types of navel deformation: stretching, bulging, torn edges. They can be the result of both the carelessness of the obstetrician-gynecologist at the birth of a person, and the result of stretching or tissue injury due to pregnancy, unsuccessful navel piercing or umbilical hernia.

Contraindications

In case of poor blood clotting, infectious diseases and diabetes, navel plastic surgery is contraindicated. Also, umbilicoplasty is not performed in case of liver and kidney problems, or in case of exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Complications

In most cases, complications after this procedure are expressed only by the development of hematomas, bruises and swelling. But at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that infection does not develop in the area of the operation. The final result of the operation will become clear only after one and a half to two months after it is performed.

Prices and clinics


Umbilicoplasty is not a complicated procedure, but it requires a certain skill of a plastic surgeon. In order to find out the location of clinics, as well as the cost of the service, you can use the medical portal .
