Can my outie be made into an innie during a mini tummy tuck? i hate my outie belly button. can it be made into an innie during my mini tummy tuck procedure?

The : The only way to really tell is to be evaluated by a surgeon. Good luck.

Often : Often the "outie" belly button is caused by a small hernia at the belly button that can be corrected at the same time as the mini tummy tuck... This outie more easily corrected during a full tummy tuck however... Examination by a plastic surgeon or general surgeon can help determine the best course of action for you "outie"! best of luck to you. Best of luck to you.

This : This depends on the cause of the outie. If it is due to a true hernia this may be more complex and evaluation by a general surgeon may be advised. However, in most instances an outie can be repaired at the time of a mini tummy tuck.

In : In some patients the outie can be turned in to an innie and in others it may not be possible. Only after an in-person evaluation can a plastic surgeon tell you the facts. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Most times, yes: Often an "outie" is a sign of an umbilical hernia which is beneath the belly button, causing the bulge. While this can often be fixed at the time of a tummy tuck, the details would depend on what is seen during your physical examination.

Sure: Most 'outies' are caused by a small hernia at the base of the belly button. These can easily be repaired during a tummy tuck to convert it to an 'innie'.
