The cosmetic surgery of the navel, new trend in vogue

Transforming the appearance of one's navel through surgery is increasingly required. A new cosmetic operation in vogue?

Everyone has their little complexes. Moreover, if some people are embarrassed by their nose, their hips or their arms, others make a fixette on ... their navel! And to modify this part of the body, there is no other solution than to go through the box "plastic surgery". This one has a very special name: umbilicoplasty. An intervention more and more requested. According to Dr. David Shafer, a plastic surgeon who spoke to Newsweek, this year there was a 12% increase in requests for information about navel surgery.

While some patients want to turn their belly button "out" into a "back" belly button, others see umbilicoplasty as a post-event restorative surgery. Many are indeed those who "wish to remake their belly button following a pregnancy, abdominal surgery, or after a great loss of weight," said surgeon Melissa Doft Allure.
