Bellybutton Revision Procedure
Bellybutton Revision surgery, also known as Umbilicoplasty, is used to alter the look and shape of your bellybutton alone. The shape of your bellybutton is determined at birth, but may change over time due to weight changes, pregnancy, or an umbilical (bellybutton) hernia. Some people with minimal belly buttons or "outies" wish that they had more distinctive “innie” belly buttons, while other people dislike the shape of the navel. One may desire a "T" shape to the belly button, created by a tiny bit of overhanging abdominal skin over the top portion of the bellybutton or a horizontally shaped belly button to take on more of a vertical orientation. When a patient decides on Bell button Revision surgery as a solution to the problem, a meeting with the surgeon will determine how the belly button should look after surgery.
Bellybutton Revision surgery may be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, and Breast Augmentation or done as an entirely separate procedure.
Bellybutton Revision, or Umbilicoplasty is performed with local anesthesia or conscious sedation by request of the patient. The procedure takes the average of 30 to 90 minutes. The surgery is usually performed in the doctor's office operating room, although a surgical facility may be used, especially if other procedures are performed simultaneously.
In the first 24 to 48 hours after your procedure you will notice very little swelling, bruising or discomfort. Most people return to work and normal activities either the same day or the day after the procedure. The healing process starts immediately.
The risks associated with Belly button Revision surgery are extremely rare. Though, like with all surgical procedures, there are some risks. As with any surgery, you can help reduce the risks by closely following the pre and post-surgery instructions provided to you by your surgeon. Possible risks include scarring, infections, under-correction or over-correction, or the need for further revisions. Incisions are typically hidden within the belly button and sutures are either dissolvable or removed in 7 to 10 days.
The results of Bellybutton Revision surgery are permanent except in cases of large weight gain or pregnancy after surgery.
The surgeon's fee can range from $500 to $2000. Bellybutton Revision surgery is considered cosmetic surgery, insurance does not apply.

Mortality and morbidity among elderly people with burns-Evaluation of data on admission.
Burns. 2008 Mar 29;
Authors: Lumenta DB, Hautier A, Desouches C, Gouvernet J, Giorgi R, Manelli JC, Magalon G
People aged >/=65 years represent a growing population within burns units in the Western world. In 2001, this group was reported to rise to 20% of such admissions. We reviewed the records of 265 burn cases with complete admission and discharge histories, from January 1990 to December 2003 in an A-level regional burns centre. The predictive value of age, gender, total body surface area burned (TBSA), inhalation trauma (IT), premorbid conditions and currently used burn scores (Baux, ABSI, Ryan) for haemodynamic or respiratory complications, mortality and morbidity were analysed. Additionally a subset of patients with diabetes mellitus and >30% total body surface area burned were reviewed. About 16% of all admissions with burns were >/=65 years of age, with a mortality rate of 30.6% (81/265). Only gender and premorbid conditions did not influence mortality. Haemodynamic and respiratory complications were significantly related to TBSA, presence of I and any of the three scores (all p<0.001). Among survivors (184/265), the median duration of hospital stay was 26.0 days. Factors contributing to a significantly increased length of stay were, in decreasing order, total body surface area burned, high levels of burn scores, inhalation trauma, flame injury and certain premorbid conditions (cardiovascular disease, alcoholism). About 77.7% of all patients were discharged either to a rehabilitation centre or back to their previous form of housing. This study showed that among burned people aged >/=65 years a good outcome as evaluated on discharge can be achieved. Studies pooling different centres' results are needed to improve the significance of conclusions drawn from these data.
