Ugly navel

Ugly navel
An ugly navel is a defect formed at the point of cutting the umbilical cord after childbirth, having the appearance of a scar that significantly protrudes above the surface of the abdomen or has an irregular, oblong shape. Often, the shape and appearance of the navel do not threaten the physiological abilities of a person, but are exclusively cosmetic defects that have a negative impact on the psychological state of the patient.

Ugly navel
Each person has a scar on the anterior abdominal wall that differs in shape, and an ugly navel can equally occur in both men and women. If men, in most cases, normally treat any kind of navel, then for women an ugly navel is a serious problem that they try to hide from prying eyes by wearing closed clothes.

In medicine and cosmetology, there are no specific standards as to what the navel should be. It is considered normal when the scar after healing has the appearance of a funnel of small depth. The way the navel looks in an adult is influenced by many factors, among which the main ones are the individual features of the skin structure and the amount of subcutaneous fat. For example, in overweight people, who are characterized by a large accumulation of subcutaneous fat on the anterior abdominal wall, the navel will be much larger than in people with low weight.

In addition to genetic features, an ugly navel may appear due to the inexperience of the doctor who cut the umbilical cord. In the case when the skin gets into this place at the time of tying the navel, in the future a person will have it bulging over the abdominal wall. 1/3 of the population has a similar defect.

An ugly navel may be due to increased intra-abdominal pressure. In the case when it has a large width, there is a possibility that such a disease as an umbilical hernia is hidden behind it. The formation of this pathology happens regardless of the age of the person. Even if there was an attractive navel shape from birth, a hernia will make it convex and ugly. In the case when initially a person had a navel of the correct shape, but over time there was a change in its shape and severity, it is necessary to consult a doctor to confirm or refute the diagnosis.

The shape and appearance of the navel may change during pregnancy, when the abdominal wall stretches and bulges, it is also affected by piercing, sudden weight gain or weight loss, age-related changes or inflammatory processes.

You can fix an ugly navel by plastic surgery. To do this, doctors practice several surgical techniques: abdominoplasty, umbilicoplasty and umbilical hernia surgery, as well as complex operations.

Plastic correction of an ugly navel
Corrective operations are most common in plastic surgery, during which the shape of an ugly navel changes, it becomes aesthetically attractive and correct.

Correction of the shape of an ugly navel is performed by the umbilicplasty technique. During the operation, the doctor corrects the height of the navel, creates a new shape and other changes relative to the wishes of the client, while maintaining the necessary proportions. Often clients are asked to recreate the shape of a T-shaped navel, which is characterized by the presence of a small vertical fold. The operation is performed under local anesthesia and can be supplemented with abdominoplasty or liposuction.

In the case when the patient’s navel protrudes excessively above the surface of the anterior abdominal wall, the doctor removes excess skin and then plunges it deep into the natural fold.

The greatest difficulty is recovery operations. Some patients turn to doctors for help when they need to completely restore the lost navel, which could have happened due to some kind of injury. During the surgical intervention, a new navel is recreated from the patient’s skin. The shape and size of the new navel correspond to the wishes of the client and retain symmetrical lines and parameters. For the intervention, the patient does not need to be in a hospital, the operation is performed on an outpatient basis. After a week, the bruises go away, and a return to physical activity is possible after 2 months. The postoperative scar is inconspicuous, as it is located in a natural fold. Most often, the operation takes place without complications, but in rare cases, infection of the wound may occur. The result persists throughout life, unless the patient begins an umbilical hernia or he will not gain weight dramatically.

Any corrective surgery is a fairly simple intervention — both for the patient and for the surgeon. The duration of the procedure takes from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. In the case of complex execution of several operations (for example, navel correction and subsequent liposuction), general anesthesia can be applied, with simultaneous execution of only correction of an ugly navel, local anesthesia is used.

The postoperative scar in any type of intervention is invisible and hides inside the navel, bruises disappear 7 days after the intervention. It is possible to judge the first results no earlier than 1 month, during this time it is necessary to accurately fulfill all the surgeon’s appointments and refrain from physical exertion, including sports.
