Umbilicoplasty (navel plasty)

Sometimes dissatisfaction with even the smallest part of your body can cause deep suffering. For example, the navel. It can be too deep or wide, too protruding, or, conversely, form a hole in which water and dust particles collect. As a result, even with an ideal figure, a person is embarrassed to undress in the pool or on the beach and is in a state of chronic psychological discomfort. But the problem is solvable! And the name of this solution is navel plasty or umbilicoplasty.

At the MC Dobrobut clinic in Kyiv, doctors will eliminate any defects in the navel, associated, for example, with its general appearance, shape, or size. The result will please since it will look like a neat funnel-shaped navel located on the midline of the anterior part of the abdominal wall strictly between the xiphoid process of the chest and the pubis.

Indications for umbilicoplasty

The non-standard appearance of the navel is often associated with errors in its handling during childbirth. In adults, it can suffer from an injury, an unsuccessful piercing, an umbilical hernia, sudden weight loss, or weight gain, for example, during pregnancy.

How does umbilicoplasty proceed?

During the examination, the plastic surgeon determines the shape, integrity, and position of the navel. Examines the condition of adjacent tissues.

If necessary, he offers to carry out abdominoplasty, talks about the preparation for the operation, prescribes a list of tests that must be passed before umbilicoplasty.
