Belly Button Reshaping Surgery
Belly button reshaping, also known as umbilicoplasty is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used for changing the appearance of the belly button. Many men and women undergo this procedure if they are unhappy with the shape, size, or position of the belly button. The belly button reshaping procedure focuses on fixing the naval deformities, or scars, or turning an outward protruding belly button into an ‘innie’.
The procedure is straightforward and the recovery is also faster. Dr B.R.N Padmini has performed several belly button reshaping procedures in Hyderabad and gained a vast knowledge in it.
Reasons for Undergoing Belly Button Reshaping Procedure
Many people choose umbilicoplasty for several reasons. A belly button reshaping procedure is helpful in the following situations:
- If you are not happy with the size, shape, or position of your belly button
- You have lost weight suddenly and this has changed the appearance of your belly button
- If you have wrinkles or scars due to previous abdominal surgery or due to navel piercings
- If pregnancy has changed the appearance of belly button
- If you do not have a visible belly button, undergoing belly button reshaping can create the look of having one

The belly button reshaping procedure can be customized as per your individual needs. Dr B.R.N Padmini can customize the procedure for you after your initial consultation.
Who is a Good Candidate for Belly Button Reshaping?
If you want to undergo a belly button reshaping procedure, you should meet the following criteria:
- You should be physically and psychologically healthy
- Belly button appearance is bothering you
- You should have realistic expectations from the procedure
- You should have a stable and healthy weight
- You should not be pregnant
- You should not have any medical history of major diseases or disorders
How Do I Prepare for Belly Button Reshaping?
You do not need any much preparation to undergo the belly button reshaping procedure. The surgeon will give you the following instructions before performing the procedure:
- You should quit smoking a month before the procedure to avoid the risk of complications
- You should stop using certain medications a week or a few days before your procedure
- You should avoid eating a few hours before your procedure if general anesthesia is required
How is Umbilicoplasty Performed?
Belly button reshaping or umbilicoplasty can be performed in conjunction with tummy tuck or liposuction. However, it can be performed as a standalone procedure as well. Umbilicoplasty can be performed on an outpatient basis and you can go home on the same day. You will be given either general or local anesthesia based on the extent of the procedure and your preferences.
The surgeon will make an incision near the belly button and will remove the excess skin around your belly. Based on your specific needs, the surgeon repositions the belly button. The belly button is either made ‘innie’, or a smaller or vertical shape. Once the belly button is repositioned, the incisions will be stitched up and everything will be stitched together.
Recovery and Results
After the procedure, you may have slight discomfort and pain for a few weeks. If you had only belly button reshaping, then you can get back to work within a few days. But you should avoid strenuous activities and intense exercises for a few weeks. The surgeon will give you instructions to keep your belly button clean and dry. During recovery, you should avoid wearing tight clothes till your wounds heal. You should also avoid navel piercings for a few weeks after the procedure.
The belly button reshaping procedure changes the shape and appearance of your belly button. The results of the procedure are permanent. But as your body changes with the changes in weight, the belly button shape may be affected. Hence, it is important to maintain a healthy weight following the procedure. Belly button reshaping improves your confidence and you will be able to wear bikinis or sports clothes.
