Umbilicoplasty is a cosmetic surgery performed to alter the appearance of the belly button. It is sometimes part of a larger surgery, like a tummy tuck.

How do you make your innie turn into an outie belly button?

An innie belly button cannot be naturally turned into an outie, as it is primarily determined by genetics and the way the umbilical cord was attached. However, some people may experience a temporary outie due to factors like pregnancy, weight gain, or bloating, which can stretch the abdominal area. For a permanent change, surgical procedures like umbilicoplasty can be considered, but these should be discussed with a qualified medical professional. Always consult with a healthcare provider before pursuing any surgical options.


What can you do to get your belly button in?

Many patients are concerned about the "outy belly button". Plastic Surgeons perform what is called an umbilicoplasty or an umbilical hernia repair. It is best to speak with a plastic surgeon about your particular concern. Usually this procedure whether it requires an umbilical hernia repair or not can be done under local anaesthesia and sedation. A patient will go home the same day as their procedure.
