Umbilicoplasty is a specialized surgery designed to enhance the appearance of the belly button. Often performed as part of a broader body contouring procedure, such as a tummy tuck, it can also be a standalone surgery for patients seeking to improve their navel aesthetics.
During the procedure, Dr. Goldman will reshape, reposition, or reconstruct the belly button to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look. Common enhancements include:
When performed alone, umbilicoplasty is typically done under local anesthesia.
As an isolated procedure, umbilicoplasty offers limited changes compared to those achievable with an abdominoplasty. For patients whose belly button has been significantly altered due to weight loss, pregnancy, or previous surgery, umbilicoplasty is usually included as part of a tummy tuck.
Dr. Goldman focuses on achieving natural-looking results with minimal visible scarring. Incisions are strategically placed to be inconspicuous, and most scars fade significantly over time, blending seamlessly around the belly button.
The results of umbilicoplasty are typically permanent, but factors such as aging and weight fluctuations may affect the overall appearance of the abdomen over time.
