People with diabetes are at a higher risk for all types of infections. This includes candidiasis, according to a 2019 study. Surgery

Abdominoplasty has consistently remained one of the top cosmetic surgical procedures, with more than 127,500 procedures performed in 2016. 1 During this procedure, the umbilicus is repositioned within the abdominal skin flap. Transposition of the umbilicus is also a component of procedures that involve autologous breast reconstruction using abdominal tissue, such as transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) or deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps. Although umbilicoplasty may seem to be a minor component of these procedures, it is absolutely critical for obtaining the most cosmetically pleasing result. The final aesthetics of the umbilicus can ultimately influence patient satisfaction with the procedure, and a poor result can ruin an otherwise successful abdominoplasty. 2 I have seen surgeons make all sorts of unusual shapes in a quest for the “perfect” belly button. In my opinion, the simpler the better. I make a short horizontal line and remove little if any skin. Because of the downward tension on the abdominal skin, that horizontal line elongates into a diamond. That is all you need and as the umbilical skin heals the diamond becomes rounder. Our Inland Cosmetic surgeons are so passionate about creating beautiful belly buttons that we’ve developed our own technique, called the Inland Innie. What does the “Inland Innie” look like?Bacterial infections cause a foul-smelling discharge that can be yellow or green. You can also have swelling, pain, and a scab around your belly button. Yeast infection It is important to treat the boil, since infection can spread into the bloodstream and travel throughout the body. Symptoms include the appearance of a small, rounded lump under the skin. Cysts are normally painless unless infected, when they will be reddened and sore and contain pus. Symptoms include a large, red, swollen, painful lump of pus anywhere on the body beneath the skin. There may be fever, chills, and body aches from the infection.

However, the procedure can change your belly button’s appearance. After the surgery, a patient’s belly button can appear more horizontal and vertical. Although this problem resolves over time, sometimes, there is no belly button. While your eyelashes are protecting your eyes, your lungs are letting you breathe, and virtually every other part of your body—inside and out—is performing its own relatively well-known task, your belly button is just sitting there collecting lint. And while it’s true that your navel served its most important purpose before you were born, it’s not totally useless now. That’s why we recommend hiring a professional cosmetic surgeon service to avoid complications. Otherwise, you can undergo revision surgery to reposition your belly button once your abdominal area is entirely flat with tightened skin. References:In general, patients want an “innie” belly button. For the cosmetic surgeon, achieving this means ensuring (and often adding) a natural depth to the naval, with a nice, smooth envelope of skin above it. Our goal is to give our patients the most natural-looking belly button for their body with minimal scarring, so that no one can tell that they had it done.
