Belly Button Surgery in Sacramento

What is a Belly Button Surgery?

Belly button surgery (umbilicoplasty) reshapes or repositions the navel itself — converting an “outie” to an “innie”, tightening a navel stretched by pregnancy or weight changes, or refining its size and shape. It treats the belly button alone and does not remove abdominal skin or repair separated muscles.

The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes, usually under local anesthesia, through a small incision hidden in or around the navel. Most people return to desk work within a few days and resume normal activity in about 1 to 2 weeks, avoiding strenuous exercise for several weeks.

Unlike a tummy tuck — which removes loose abdominal skin and repairs separated muscles, repositioning the navel as part of a much larger surgery — umbilicoplasty is a focused, lower-cost procedure for people whose only concern is the belly button. A board-certified plastic surgeon determines whether umbilicoplasty alone is appropriate.

What to ask your provider

• Is umbilicoplasty alone right for me, or do I need a tummy tuck?
• Will you reshape, reposition, or resize my belly button — and how?
• Where will the incision be and how visible is the scar?
• Is there an umbilical hernia that should be repaired at the same time?
• What does the quote include — surgeon fee, anesthesia, and facility?
• Can I see before-and-after photos of your own umbilicoplasty patients?
