Beauty and the Belly Button - Just what makes an umbilicus beautiful?

Belly buttons vary in size, shape, hooding, and protrusion. As the abdomen moves, the tethered umbilicus interacts with the abdominal tissues. A beautiful belly button is an extension of the stomach, does not dominate, and flows naturally with movement. Surrounding tissue is a major factor. Sagging skin and redundant fat can bury and distort the belly button. Tummy tuck abdominoplasty sculpture may need to address such issues as part of the solution.

Vertical belly button shapes tend to be more attractive than horizontal. Too large, and a belly button is out of proportion. A small hood or "T" shape can add to the appeal.

Body building and very low body can also effect the belly button. Extra skin in the cavity can look strange on the very lean muscled body.

This is a three dimensional problem affected by movement. Successful umbilical sculpture takes artistry and surgical judgment in selecting the right solution for the specific problem.
