Main Information
<p>Your first discussion with a surgeon should clearly set out your expectations and whether the operation can give you the results you desire.</p> <p>Careful discussions regarding the reasons for wanting an umbilicoplasty or belly button surgery and your suitability for this type of operation are very important at this stage. Make sure that you obtain as much information as necessary to enable you to make a fully informed choice and make sure you receive satisfactory answers to all your questions.</p> <p>Your surgeon may suggest that a more complicated procedure, such as <a href="https://www.consultingroom.com/Treatments/Liposuction" target="_self">liposuction</a> or a <a href="https://www.consultingroom.com/Treatments/Tummy-Tuck-Abdominoplasty" target="_self">tummy tuck</a> needs to be combined with belly button surgery in order to achieve the results that you desire. This obviously needs careful consideration as these procedures are more serious and carry a greater risk.</p> <p>A medical history should also be taken to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t have this operation. You would normally be asked to sign a consent form which means that you have understood the potential benefits and risks associated with any such surgery.</p> <p>Photographs may also be taken by the practitioner as a "before and after" comparison at a later date.</p> <p>The surgeon may also wish to write to your G.P. giving details of the operation so that if there are any problems associated with surgery in the short or long-term; your doctor is aware of the procedure and can help you to recover. </p> <p><strong>Anaesthesia </strong></p> <p>Belly button surgery can be performed using local anaesthesia to numb the area around the belly button, combined with a sedative to make you drowsy, so that you remain awake but feel very little discomfort</p> <p>A general anaesthetic may be recommended or offered by your surgeon, but please take into account that this carries more potential risks – this should be clearly explained by the surgeon before you make any decisions about the anaesthetic.</p> <p><strong>The operation </strong></p> <p>If you make a decision to go ahead with an umbilicoplasty, the actual procedure may take place in an outpatient surgical clinic or a hospital setting. <br />The surgery will usually take no longer than one hour for a surgeon to perform – but it can be longer if an umbilical hernia needs to be repaired or removed. </p> <p>Different techniques are used to reshape your belly button depending upon the surgeon and the type of new shape you require.</p> <p>The surgeon will try and cut your skin inside the belly button to make the scars less visible after the operation. </p> <p>A light dressing may be applied immediately following the operation, but no surgical drains are required.<br />Stitches are usually dissolvable and do not need a return visit to be removed. </p>
