The Rodeo Drive Belly Button™

At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, we specialize in tummy tuck surgery. Because we do so many tummy tucks, we have come to clearly understand the results people are looking for from the procedure. One thing we hear time and again from our prospective tummy tuck patients is that they want a nice looking belly button. To meet these goals, we developed the Rodeo Drive Belly Button™.

During a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty procedure, the belly button is detached from its surrounding skin and placed in a new position on the abdomen. While it does remain loosely attached to the deeper tissues inside, in many ways the belly button must be re-made during a tummy tuck because it is placed into a new area of surrounding skin. The Rodeo Drive Belly Button provides a specialized technique to provide a pleasing appearance to the new belly button.

Since the standard re-creation of a belly button was often "floating" in the belly, it did not have a natural appearance. The belly button had lost its attachments to surrounding skin and so the natural slope of the abdominal skin down toward the belly button was lost.

The Rodeo Drive Belly Button was developed to address these issues. It creates a stronger "hood" at the top by stitching this part of the belly button loosely to the deep tissues of the abdominal wall. This positioning provides a solid platform for piercing, and also throws a darker shadow within the hole of the belly button, creating a more natural appearance. The bottom of the belly button is stitched more tightly to the deeper tissues to provide contrast to the top and highlight these effects. Our goal is to create a belly button that you will want to show off with low-cut jeans or a short-length shirt.

Our Rodeo Drive Belly Button was named the #1 new innovation in US plastic surgery by Grazia, Britain's most popular glossy magazine.
