A member asked:
Nine months after my delivery. but still my belly button is an outie. really sad about it. any solution for this. ?

Yes: Usually outies can be changed to innies. You may have a small umbilical hernia. Approximately 15% of the popular does. Sometimes is goes unoticed, sometimes it forms an out. Increases in weight and pregnancy can cause them to appear and even be symptomatic. If this the case, umbilical hernia repair can help flatten things out.
