Umbilicus Reconstruction / Umbilicoplasty
Re-Shape the Birth Deformaty.!
The navel, clinically known as the umbilicus and colloquially known as the belly button is a protruding, flat, or hollowed area on the abdomen at the attachment site of the umbilical cord. Whilst of minimal functional importance, the umbilicus is a key aesthetic landmark of the anterior abdominal wall and its absence or distortion is a frequent cause for concern and patient complaint.
A badly shaped navel or belly button can be either from birth, or can result due to a trauma or faulty surgery. It can be:
- A small hernia which may stick out in a little lump next to the belly button;
- Flat instead of the circular belly button which has a younger look to it
- A belly button that is shifted to one side, sticks out, or is hidden by folds of flesh or wrinkles.
