Navel surgery
Umbilicoplasty is an operation to restore the shape of the navel. Its implementation is determined by medical and aesthetic indications. Navel surgery can eliminate defects and restore self-confidence.

treatment
The main aesthetic indication is deformation of the navel shape. This is usually due to sudden weight loss and age-related changes. Surgical intervention is also carried out against the background of:
- Symmetry violations. The navel has a pronounced horizontal or vertical asymmetry
- Presence of postoperative scars. Usually they remain after other surgical interventions - for example, against the background of abdominoplasty
Medical indications include hernias in the navel area. These are benign neoplasms that can lead to circulatory problems and other serious complications.
Diseases such as diabetes, hepatitis and HIV are a serious obstacle to surgery. Also, intervention is strictly contraindicated against the background of liver or kidney problems and acute infectious diseases. The operation cannot be performed against the background of progressive oncology.
Genetics are a major risk factor: some people have a tendency to develop rough scars after surgery. Against this background, undesirable consequences often appear.
Another important aspect is pregnancy planning. If a woman is going to give birth in the next year after surgery, it is better to postpone umbilicoplasty to a later date. This is due to the fact that as a result of gestation and childbirth, the shape and size of the navel changes. This can negate the results of surgery.
Types of intervention
There are several types of navel correction. The choice of intervention depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.
The decision regarding the need for umbilicoplasty should be based on a comprehensive assessment and consultation with a specialist.
The main methods of umbilicoplasty include:
- Bulge correction The operation helps restore the navel to its natural shape and remove excess bulge.
- Correction of the navel inwards The navel is too deep to be operated on.
- Reconstruction after trauma The purpose of the intervention is to restore the natural shape and size of the navel after injury.
- Correction of the size of the umbilical ring Allows you to reduce or increase the diameter of the umbilical ring. As a result, it becomes more proportional.
- Umbilical hernia repair A hernia in the navel area is being repaired. After removing the tumor, the doctor corrects the shape of the navel.
General information about the procedure
Preparation
At the initial consultation, the doctor will perform a visual examination and select the appropriate correction method. However, to exclude complications possible during treatment, a detailed study is necessary, including instrumental diagnostics and tests:
- UAC
- Blood biochemistry to study indicators of total protein, bilirubin, electrolytes, etc.
- OAM
- Coagulogram
- Test for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis
- ECG and FLG
You will also need a physician's opinion on the absence of contraindications to plastic surgery.

Umbilicoplasty - navel correction
After childbirth, a woman's body goes through many changes, one of which is the deformation of the navel. Changing shape, stretching tissue or creating an unwanted fold above the umbilical ring is a natural process that occurs due to stretching of the abdominal wall and abdominal skin during pregnancy. However, it causes discomfort and dissatisfaction with appearance.
Direct correction of the female navel is offered only by umbilicoplasty. The essence of this method is to correct the shape and size of the navel by excision of excess tissue and removal of excess skin. This operation is a stand-alone intervention. It is also often performed in combination with other procedures, such as liposuction or abdominoplasty.
