Belly Button Perfection – Umbilicoplasty Explained

by Ellen Mahony

Woman holding hands in heart shape around her belly button It might not seem like a big deal to others, but the shape of your belly button can affect how you feel about your body. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ellen Mahony can perform umbilicoplasty to help you love how your navel looks.

Dr. Mahony’s background is in physical therapy and public health, and she has worked on international health projects. She also completed rigorous training at the University of Pennsylvania and holds fellowships in Hand and Microsurgery. Her office is located in Westport, Connecticut, where she sees patients from throughout Fairfield County.

What Is Umbilicoplasty?

Umbilicoplasty is a simple procedure that reshapes the belly button. It usually involves removing some skin, tightening the area, and changing the shape or position. Some people want their belly button to be smaller, some want it tucked in, and others just want to smooth out their stretched or uneven skin.

Dr. Mahony performs this surgery through a small incision hidden inside the navel itself. It’s a simple outpatient procedure, and most people are surprised by how easy the recovery is. 

Swelling and tenderness are usually mild and fade away quickly. Umbilicoplasty can be done on its own or paired with something like a tummy tuck or liposuction for a more complete result.

Who Gets Belly Button Surgery?

There’s no single reason people choose umbilicoplasty. Some of the most common include:

  • Scarring from past surgeries or piercings
  • A belly button that looks more like an “outie” and the preference for an “innie”
  • Changes in shape or position after childbirth
  • Feeling self-conscious in swimsuits or fitted clothing
