Product Information

Abdominoplasty has consistently remained one of the top cosmetic surgical procedures, with more than 127,500 procedures performed in 2016. 1During 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

A dermatofibroma is a fairly common skin growth that usually appears on the lower legs, but may appear anywhere on the body. These mole-like growths are benign (noncancerous.) When glancing at an aesthetically pleasing female abdomen, the umbilicus is the central focus. 3 It is a unique structure in that it is the only naturally occurring scar in the human body. 4 The umbilicus is considered by many to be an aesthetic subunit in and of itself. 5 , 6 When absent, misshapen, or displaced, it can create an unnatural looking abdomen that causes undue attention to the midsection, resulting in psychological distress for the patient. 7 Position, size, shape, and depth of the umbilicus are characteristics that contribute to the overall aesthetics of the abdomen. 8 Keratin itself is a type of protein found in your hair and skin. Its primary function is to work with other components to bind cells together. In the case of skin, keratin is present in large quantities. Certain types of keratin are found in specific layers of the skin and on certain areas of the body. A skin abscess is an infection of the deeper skin that's typically due to bacteria seen on the skin. Recently, infections are more frequently caused by Staph. Aureus (puts the "staph" in "staph infections"). If the infection begins to spread, urgent treatment is required. The cause is not known, though a dermatofibroma may appear after a minor injury. The growths are not contagious.

Keratin plugs don’t usually require medical treatment. However, it’s understandable to want to get rid of them for aesthetic reasons, especially if they’re located in a visible area of your body.

Benign: In adults, there are multiple benign masses that can develop in the umbilical area. Benign masses develop from cells dividing uncontrollably; however, they do not spread elsewhere. Benign lesions include masses such as hamartomas, neurofibromas, and lipomas. If this happens, call your doctor. It could be a sign of an infection that needs to be treated. Urachal cyst Malignant: Conversely, malignant masses are those that invade surrounding tissues and spread to other organs of the body. They can include masses such as melanoma and different types of carcinomas. A sebum plug is an infrequently used term for acne. These plugs occur when sebum (oil) from your sebaceous glands become trapped in your hair follicles. Dead skin cells and then inflammation creates acne lesions.Surgical: Surgical incisions create weaknesses in the abdominal wall. After surgery, the abdominal wall is closed; however, weight gain, pregnancy, or excessive activity too soon after the procedure can result in an increase in abdominal pressure and stretching of the incision. This makes it easy for contents to protrude through the incision, resulting in a hernia. Keeping the skin clean, and using only clean clothes and towels, will help to make sure that the abscess does not recur. A fluid-filled growth called a cyst can form on the urachus, and the cyst can get infected. One symptom of this infection is cloudy or bloody fluid leaking from your belly button. A furuncle, also called a boil, is infection of a hair follicle. The infection forms under the skin at the root of the hair and may occur anywhere on the body. You can exfoliate with gentle acids, such as peels or topicals with lactic, salicylic, or glycolic acid. Over-the-counter options include Eucerin or Am-Lactin. Physical exfoliants are other options, which include soft facial brushes and washcloths.

Most of the time, treatment is not necessary unless the lipoma is unsightly or is interfering with other structures. It can be removed through surgery or liposuction. The recovery timeline after the procedure varies depending on different factors, such as your age, health status, weight, and immune system. Because the drainage tubes that pull the fluid away from your abdominal region will remain in the area for a few days.

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. A dermatofibroma does not require treatment unless it is interfering with clothing or is unsightly. They can be surgically removed, though this will leave a scar and the growth may eventually return. Boil (furuncle)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. A small abscess may heal on its own, through the body's immune system. But some will need to be drained or lanced in a medical provider's office so that the pus can be cleaned out. Antibiotics are usually prescribed.
