A member asked:
Hi, do umbilicoplasties remove hernias on the belly button? also, does the surgical procedure called a hernia repair turn an outie to an innie?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Umbilical hernias. : Umbelicoplasty should involve a repair of an umbelical hernia. But it does not have to. These are two different procedures. I would always do the following in the same procedure. 1) repair the hernia 2) do the umbelicoplasty and remove the excess tissue and 3) convert an "outie" to an "innie"
