Umbilicus reshaping - page 1 |

The umbilicus is an important feature of the abdomen. It has long been recognized for its erotic appeal and was even banned from exposure during the 1920s in Hollywood. Current fashions mean that the umbilicus is often bared in everyday wear.
The umbilicus is classically oval in shape and indented. Problems with the umbilicus can either be present at birth or due to pregnancy, previous surgery, or piercing. There is sometimes a weakness in the abdominal wall (hernia) associated with a protruding umbilicus.
