Book a Consultation See Surgical ApproachesUmbilicoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to change the size, shape, or position of the belly button. Whether your navel has been altered by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, previous surgeries, or a hernia, this procedure reshapes the tissue to create a more aesthetically pleasing, typically "innie" appearance.
Reverses the stretching, flattening, or "popping" (turning into an outie) that frequently happens during the course of pregnancy.
Often combined with umbilical hernia repair to fix underlying muscle weakness while simultaneously restoring the navel's aesthetic look.
Corrects distortion, severe scarring, or unevenness left behind by previous abdominal surgeries, laparoscopy, or old piercings.
Anyone in generally good health who is bothered by an elongated, protruding, wide, or asymmetrical belly button.
Carefully trims excess protruding skin or tissue and sutures the navel stalk to the deeper abdominal fascia to pull the belly button securely inward.
Removes a small circle or ellipse of excess skin around a stretched or overly large navel to create a smaller, tighter, and often more vertically oriented shape.
Repairs the small hole or weakness in the abdominal wall that is actively pushing the navel out, before delicately reshaping the overlying skin.
During an abdominoplasty, the abdominal skin is pulled tightly downward. Dr. Suman creates a completely new, refined opening for your natural navel stalk to sit beautifully in its new position.
When performed as a standalone procedure under local anesthesia, umbilicoplasty has a very mild and quick recovery period compared to major abdominal surgeries.
Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are expected. You will keep the area clean and lightly dressed. Most patients can return to normal, non-strenuous daily activities immediately.
Sutures are typically removed or begin to dissolve. You can comfortably return to desk work, but should avoid tight clothing, high-waisted pants, or belts that rub against the navel.
Swelling noticeably subsides. You can gradually resume moderate cardiovascular exercise, though direct pressure and heavy core workouts should still be avoided.
The final shape settles in completely as the internal tissues heal and the scar matures, blending seamlessly into the natural, shadowed folds of your new belly button.
When performed as a standalone surgery, it is typically done under local anesthesia. You will feel a small pinch for the numbing injection, but the surgery itself is painless. Post-operative discomfort is usually very mild and manageable with basic pain relievers.
Dr. Suman meticulously places the incisions inside the newly formed navel. Because of this strategic placement, the resulting scar is naturally hidden within the interior folds and is barely noticeable once fully healed.
Yes. If your "outie" is being caused by an umbilical hernia (a small tear in the muscle wall), the underlying muscle can be safely repaired at the same time the belly button skin is reshaped.
As a standalone procedure, an umbilicoplasty is generally quite fast—usually completed in about 45 to 60 minutes. It is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the very same day.

Are you tired of rigorous dieting and exercising to lose stubborn pockets of fat? Liposuction is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, dramatically improving your natural contours. Dr. Suman Babu, a leading Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon in Hyderabad, offers advanced, customized liposuction procedures tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.
While being overweight often requires a comprehensive diet and exercise plan, liposuction is the ideal solution for localized, treatment-resistant fat. It permanently removes fat cells from areas that do not respond to traditional fitness routines, ensuring a smoother and more sculpted appearance.
As a premier cosmetic surgeon in India, Dr. Suman Babu utilizes the latest, minimally invasive techniques—such as Tumescent, VASER, and Power-Assisted Liposuction—at his Hyderabad clinic. These state-of-the-art modalities ensure maximum safety, lesser blood loss, and superior body contouring with beautiful, long-lasting results.
Liposuction can be used to permanently remove stubborn fat from various parts of the body to help you achieve a harmonious, well-proportioned figure.
Liposuction is a surgical fat removal procedure. During the surgery, the area is numbed, and a small incision is made. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted to safely break up and suction out stubborn fat deposits, instantly reshaping the targeted area.
The ideal candidate is at or near their target body weight but struggles with localized, diet-resistant fat pockets. For the best body contouring results, you should be in good general health, a non-smoker, and have good skin elasticity to ensure your skin retracts smoothly over your new shape.
Thanks to Dr. Suman Babu's minimally invasive techniques, recovery is relatively fast. Most patients in Hyderabad can safely resume desk jobs and light activities within 5 to 7 days. To minimize swelling and optimize your new contours, you will be advised to wear a specialized compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks.
