Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Everted umbilicus is often caused by failure of the umbilical skin to adhere to the deep fascia; sometimes, it is caused by umbilical hernia. With careful examination, doctors can differentiate the causes. Everted umbilicus cases can be rectified by fixing the umbilical skin to the deep fascia through a small incision, improving overall appearance of the navel. In the case of umbilical hernia, a bigger incision may be required.
