What is a Scar and Belly Button Revision?

Scar and belly button revision is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of scars and reshapes the belly button, often after surgeries like a tummy tuck or C-section. Scar revision helps smooth out raised, discolored, or thickened scars, while belly button revision (umbilicoplasty) enhances the shape or position of the belly button for a more natural look. These can be done together or separately, and recovery is typically quick, with most patients resuming light activities within a week.

What Are the Benefits of a Scar and Belly Button Revision?

Scar and belly button revision offers several benefits, particularly for those seeking to enhance their abdominal area’s appearance after surgery or injury. Minimizing or smoothing scars helps achieve a more even skin texture and can reduce the prominence of thick, raised, or discolored scars. For the belly button, revision can restore a natural shape, improve symmetry, or correct stretching or deformity caused by previous surgeries or weight changes.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Scar and Belly Button Revision?

The best candidates for scar and belly button revision are individuals who are in good overall health, have fully healed from prior abdominal surgeries, and are unhappy with the appearance of scars or the shape of their belly button. Ideal candidates may have thick, raised, discolored, or asymmetrical scars, or they may feel self-conscious about a stretched or irregularly shaped belly button due to prior surgeries or weight changes.

What to Expect on the Day of Scar and Belly Button Revision Surgery

After thorough markings on the skin, Dr. Motykie utilizes advanced surgical techniques to excise unwanted tissue and carefully reposition the skin to smooth out any existing scars. He may reshape the umbilicus for the belly button revision to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look.

The procedure typically lasts between one to two hours, depending on its complexity.

Scar and Belly Button Revision Recovery

Recovery from scar and belly button revision surgery involves managing swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Initially, patients should rest and avoid strenuous activities, with gentle movement encouraged to enhance circulation. Most swelling will begin to subside within a week, and stitches are typically removed within one to two weeks.

The incision areas should be kept out of sunlight for several months to prevent pigmentation changes. Full recovery can take several weeks; the final results will be evident as swelling diminishes.
