Umbilicoplasty (belly button surgery) at Centre for Surgery starts from £2,500 as a standalone procedure. When it’s performed as part of a tummy tuck — where repositioning the belly button is a standard step — the umbilicoplasty is included at no additional charge. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after your in-person consultation.

Umbilicoplasty reshapes or repairs the navel — most often to convert a protruding “outie” into a recessed “innie”, but also to correct post-pregnancy distortion, remove belly-button piercing scars, repair an umbilical hernia, or reconstruct the navel after abdominal surgery. It’s a minor, one-hour day case usually done under local anaesthetic, which keeps it one of the lower-cost body procedures. This 2026 guide breaks down the price, what’s included, what affects the cost, the NHS position, and how to spread the payments.

What affects the cost of umbilicoplasty?

Diagram showing what affects umbilicoplasty price at Centre for Surgery London across three cost drivers — complexity from skin reshaping only to with umbilical hernia repair, anaesthetic from local anaesthetic to TIVA asleep, and procedure type from primary to revision after previous surgery, each on a lower-cost to higher-cost scale — What affects your umbilicoplasty price — complexity (hernia repair or not), anaesthetic choice, and whether it’s a primary or revision procedure.

Three things move a standalone price:

Complexity: simple skin reshaping is the most straightforward version, from £2,500. If an umbilical hernia is present and repaired at the same session, that adds operating time and the price is from £3,500.
Anaesthetic: most umbilicoplasty is done under local anaesthetic with sedation, which keeps the cost down. Choosing TIVA (being fully asleep) adds the anaesthetist and theatre time — add £1,000.
Primary or revision: correcting a navel left unsatisfactory by previous surgery (for example after a tummy tuck elsewhere) can be more involved than a first-time procedure.

Is it cheaper as part of a tummy tuck?

Effectively, yes — there’s no separate umbilicoplasty charge. A full tummy tuck already detaches and repositions the belly button to a natural site on the tightened skin as a standard step, so the navel reshaping is built into the tummy tuck price. The same applies within a mummy makeover. A standalone umbilicoplasty makes sense when the navel is your only concern; a mini tummy tuck doesn’t reposition the belly button, so a separate umbilicoplasty can be added if needed. See the tummy tuck cost guide for those prices.

What can umbilicoplasty correct?

The procedure addresses several distinct concerns, which is worth knowing when weighing up the cost against the benefit:

Outie to innie: the most common reason — repositioning protruding skin to create a recessed navel.
Post-pregnancy distortion: a navel stretched, flattened, or splayed by pregnancy that hasn’t settled afterwards.
Piercing scars: stretched or thickened scarring from old belly-button piercings.
Umbilical hernia: where a weakness in the abdominal wall makes the navel bulge — repaired through the same incision.
Reconstruction: rebuilding a navel after emergency abdominal surgery.
Revision: correcting an unnatural navel shape or position after a previous tummy tuck.

Is umbilicoplasty available on the NHS?

Cosmetic navel reshaping isn’t funded by the NHS, and private medical insurance doesn’t generally cover it. An umbilical hernia repair on its own is a medical procedure and may be available on the NHS where it’s causing symptoms — but the cosmetic reshaping of the navel is not. At Centre for Surgery, where a hernia is present it’s repaired at the same session as the umbilicoplasty so both the function and the appearance are addressed together. As a cosmetic procedure it’s self-funded, which is why finance is a popular option.

Can you pay for umbilicoplasty on finance?

You can pay in full or spread the cost with finance through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status. Plans and a representative example are on our finance options page, and a patient coordinator can talk you through them on 020 7993 4849.

Frequently Asked Questions: Umbilicoplasty cost

How much does umbilicoplasty cost in the UK in 2026?

At Centre for Surgery in London, standalone umbilicoplasty starts from £2,500. When performed as part of a tummy tuck, the navel reshaping is included in the tummy tuck price at no additional charge. Your exact price is confirmed after consultation.

Why is umbilicoplasty one of the cheaper body procedures?

It’s a minor, localised operation — usually about an hour under local anaesthetic, with small incisions and a short recovery. That keeps it at the lower end of body-procedure pricing compared with a tummy tuck or liposuction.

What’s included in the price?

The price covers your surgeon’s fee, facility fee, local anaesthetic (or TIVA if chosen), umbilical hernia repair where needed, your dressings, a wound check at 7–10 days, a surgeon review at 6 weeks, and a dedicated coordinator. Any compression garment or prescribed medication you need is bought separately, and histology is charged separately where a sample is sent for analysis; your coordinator confirms these in advance. The £100 consultation is redeemable against the procedure.

Is umbilicoplasty included if I have a tummy tuck?

Yes. A full tummy tuck repositions the belly button as a standard step, so there’s no separate umbilicoplasty charge. A mini tummy tuck doesn’t reposition the navel, so a standalone umbilicoplasty can be added if it also needs correcting.

Does the price change if I need a hernia repaired?

Yes. Where an outie is caused by an umbilical hernia, the hernia is repaired at the same session through the same incision. That adds operating time, so the price is from £3,500 rather than £2,500. Your surgeon confirms this at consultation after assessing whether a hernia is present.

What anaesthetic is used, and does it affect the cost?

Umbilicoplasty is usually done under local anaesthetic, sometimes with oral sedation. You can choose TIVA (being fully asleep) if you prefer, which adds the anaesthetist and theatre time — add £1,000 to the quoted price. Where it’s combined with a tummy tuck, TIVA is used as standard.

How much is umbilicoplasty per month on finance?

Is umbilicoplasty available on the NHS?

Cosmetic navel reshaping isn’t NHS-funded. An umbilical hernia repair on its own may be available on the NHS where it’s symptomatic, but not the cosmetic reshaping of the navel. As a cosmetic procedure, umbilicoplasty is self-funded privately.
