Does Belly Button Surgery leave a scar?

Umblicoplasty does not typically produce a visible scar. Experienced surgeons create strategic incisions inside the navel to conceal any possible scarring, making it minor and nearly undetectable.

What happens to your belly button after surgery?

The recovery time for a belly button surgery takes about six weeks. The navel will grow smaller in the first few weeks after your procedure, and you will experience mild discomfort during this healing phase. The belly button will appear natural after 3-4 months.
