Belly Button Surgery New York City
Introduction to Belly Button Surgery
How a belly button appears can be influenced by various factors such as pregnancy, weight loss, genetics, abdominal hernias, surgeries, or scars. These factors can cause the belly button to protrude, stretch horizontally, or display other imperfections, causing a lot of stress when it comes time to show your abdomen via a crop top or bathing suit. Fortunately, a short and straightforward Belly Button Surgery (also known as Umbilicoplasty) from William Samson, MD, in New York City can quickly restore the look of your belly button. Learn more below if you want to improve your belly button’s appearance to enhance your confidence and comfort with your body.
Let’s start with the basics
What is Belly Button Surgery?
Belly button surgery or Umbilicoplasty in New York is a cosmetic procedure performed on our patients who are unhappy with the appearance or look of their Belly Button. An Umbilicoplasty involves small incisions inside your belly button. The goal of our Umbilicoplasty procedures is to create an oval, innie belly button, which increases self-confidence and offers a new aesthetic to a cosmetic hurdle.
Main Advantages
What are the Benefits of Belly Button Surgery?
Many of our patients at William Samson, MD, find many benefits that come from Umbilicoplasty, such as:
- Umbilicoplasty can change the “outie” to an “innie”
- The belly button can be reduced to give a more youthful appearance
- Scars from previous surgery or piercings can be eliminated or reduced
- Loose skin and wrinkles can be smoothed
What to Expect on the Day of Belly Button Surgery
Umbilicoplasty in New York can be performed with local anesthesia for absolute comfort. However, when it is part of a more extensive surgery, such as a tummy tuck, general anesthesia may be necessary. Dr. Samson will use his years of experience to reshape your belly button by making a small incision around its border, allowing excess skin to be removed and the Belly Button to be reshaped. In some cases, tissue may be added over the belly button to adjust its position. The incisions are carefully closed with the appropriate amount of slack to promote optimal healing during movement. Typically, the procedure takes between 1 and 2 hours.
What’s the First Step?
The first step toward your revised Belly Button is to schedule your consultation at William Samson, MD, in New York City. When you come in for your appointment, you and Dr. Samson will discuss your goals and medical history. He will answer any questions you may have, evaluate your desired treatment area, and help you decide if Umbilicoplasty is best for you.

There are no distinct medical grounds for Umbilicoplasty. It is a procedure that people come to William Samson, MD, simply because they want to feel better about how their belly button looks.
Belly Button Surgery Recovery
When your Umbilicoplasty is complete, you may resume most normal activities the following day. This, of course, includes lots of rest and relaxation and avoiding exercise. As soon as the surgical area begins to recover from swelling, the effects of surgery become noticeable. The healing process typically takes between three to four months, during which time you’ll need to follow our post-operative instructions carefully. The final outcome and the most natural results of surgery can take up to one year after the procedure.
