CBS: It’s a tiny body part, but for some, it can make a big difference during swimsuit season, say plastic surgeons who’ve seen an uptick in requests for belly button surgery.
New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Schulman said he’s had more requests this year from women with “outies” who want an “innie” belly button.
Dr. David H. Song, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and chief of plastic surgery at University of Chicago Medicine, agreed. “There’s a lot of belly button surgery going on,” he told CBS News.
I guess your belly button is only as good as the person who delivered you’s ability to tie a knot.
The long-overdue Giant Meteor won’t give a damn if you’re an “Outie” or and “Innie” when it finally arrives. 🙂
@ PHenry
“tie a knot…” Doctors use clamps nowadays. 🙂
I would like to see mine without a mirror.
Wow, where have I been. For 70 years I have never thought about the Feng Shui of my belly button to my belly. How negligent of me.

Ever see a picture of Adam an Eve? they both have belly buttons. Gonna look for one.
Belly button plastic surgery? Hmm. That sounds pretty good! I’d like to have my navel reconstructed with a very small umbilical hernia incorporated so that when I tense my abdominal muscles, out pops what looks like a tiny fist flipping a tiny bird.
Yeah, I could have fun with that!
As my age cohort gets…well…more aged, a lot of the women I know who got their belly buttons pierced in their 20’s are now regretting it. Especially after a pregnancy or two, the scars from their once small, cute little belly buttons are substantially bigger. I know more than one woman who has gone in to get some work done for this.
Those piercings and tats you thought were cool in your youth are gonna come back to bite you in the ass, people. Thank god I was too broke in those days to waste money on a tattoo!
How shallow has our culture become!!
My belly button is the least of my worries during “swim suit season”.
I had a co-worker who had her belly button piercing tear completely through, once it healed the moron had it re-done.. As for Tattoos.. who doesn’t like a chic with letters on her back?.. it gives you something to read while your in the shitter.. ( I read that somewhere.. still laughing..)

Back in my day we didn’t have such clamps. Ma had to hold a rock to her belly and pa would use the bucket loader to apply pressure. Ma had to lie there for nearly a week but she picked a good rock cuz I gots me a cover of Men’s Health caliber innie.
I say get it fixed. You wouldn’t want your navel to detract from the winged dragon tattoo covering your left arm.
I don’t understand how an outie is a problem. Unless that’s your wife’s petname for your johnson.
Sounds like another job for Big Government.
