Is there a way I could get my belly button removed through surgery?!


Question: Is there a way I could get my belly button removed through surgery?
I want to get rid of my belly button. I don't have an outie...it's an innie...and it creeps me out. I was just wondering, does anyone else get the heebie jeebies from their belly button? And can I get it surgically removed? Ok, thanks.

Answers:

Well, erm....you do can remove it surgically. But obviously it would leave a scar.Many people who undergo massive loss of weight have to remove the extra skin, and the bellybutton is removed as well.Then, a new one is created in place.But whenever you'd expose your belly, it would seem that something's missing, like an eyebrowless face.I'd recommend doing a new belly button, one that you like, instead of removing it completely =) I'm not sure how are the prices in your country, but it can't be THAT expensive, since it's a riskless, really simple plastic surgery wich doesn't even go near your stomach (it's over your intestins, wich are protected by the major omentum and body fat)

Oh, and BTW, don't go sticking things on it to clean it! You don't believe how many people pierce it trough and cause some infection (belly buttons and tympanum are the mostly pierced structures by small objects).Just wash ir regularly...that nasty thing that comes out of it is completely normal, it's just body secretions like sweat, and it actually protects you (like the earwax that people also insist on removing).

I hope to have helped a bit =)

Med classes and complaints/warnings from many teachers (lol)



Pretty sure you can, but it's a hole, so they'll cut DEEP into your stomach and you will be left with a huge scar crater... They'll have to skin-graph it back together, and then you'll be left with the huge, ugly uneven line...
But yeah, you're right, a belly button is so much uglier than those things!



Hun, nothing is wrong with your belly button. I have an innie, and I don't care. Maybe you have a belly button fear?



They could cut it out, but it would leave a round indented scar about the size of the end of your finger.
