March 2, 2023/in Umbilicoplasty /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

Pictures recently surfaced that rocked the world of females aged 25-45.   John Stamos, known most famously for his role as Uncle Jessie on Full House and considered among the “hottest” men around (or so my wife says) is not so perfect after all.

People are saying that John Stamos belly button is deformed. What John Stamos has is more than simply an “outie” and he claims it is the result of a childhood to repair an umbilical hernia.

What Is an Umbilical Hernia

John Stamos belly buttonAn umbilical hernia is an opening in the abdominal wall and results in the protrusion of fat or intestine. This appears like an “outie” that can be pushed in. These hernias are extremely common in infants and usually close on their own by age 2 or 3 years old. Hernias that fail to close may require a surgical procedure to close the opening, preventing potential complications in the future.

The most serious complication can be a piece of the intestine getting stuck in the opening causing bowel obstruction, partial death of the intestine, and septic shock.

So, if his hernia was repaired, why does his belly button look like that? This is probably because the surgeon closed the opening with sutures, which is the appropriate thing. But what the surgeon probably failed to do is remove any fat that was trapped outside the opening, or trim the excess skin of the belly button.

This may be the reason why he has a bulging belly button with overhanging skin. Essentially, the hernia was repaired, but little consideration was given to the cosmetic portion of the procedure. As a plastic surgeon, I have trained in BOTH general surgery AND plastic surgery. This means that I am able to repair the hernia AND make the belly button look better!

Cosmetic Belly Button Procedure

But don’t worry if you have had your hernia fixed and you belly button still doesn’t look good. You can still have a cosmetic belly button procedure that improves the appearance. Cosmetic surgery of the belly button, or umbilicoplasty, has become one of the most common in-office procedures that I perform.

In fact, I have been nicknamed “Dr. Belly Button” by many of my patients who come great distances for the procedure. It takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes and is done using only local anesthesia. The recovery time is rapid.

So John, if you are reading this (if you are not, then you are really missing out on a great blog), give me a call so I can correct your only flaw.

Are there any risks?

Make sure to contact your doctor right away if you notice any of the following symptoms in the weeks after your surgery:

  • severe bleeding
  • nausea
  • dizziness
  • pain that doesn’t go away
  • signs of infection, such as a fever, unusual smell, or colored discharge

The Bottom Line

Umbilicoplasty is a procedure that can help your change the shape of your bellybutton. If you’re considering it, scarring is always an issue but if you choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon they will be able to get the result you want.

Depending on your situation, the procedure might not be worth the risk. Also, if you are a women and getting pregnant is in your future plans, it’s best to hold off on the surgery to avoid undoing the results.

Who Is John Stamos

John Stamos belly button surgery “John Stamos is an American actor, producer, musician, comedian and singer. He first gained recognition for his contract role as Blackie Parrish on the ABC television series General Hospital, for which he was nominated for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

He is known for his work in television and videos, especially in his starring role as Jesse Katsopolis on the ABC sitcom Full House. Since the show’s finale in 1995, Stamos has appeared in numerous TV films, ads, videos and series. Since 2005, he has been the national spokesperson for Project Cuddle.

Stamos is a big fan of Elvis Presley and has often referenced or paid homage to him in the show Full House. Stamos began dating model/actress Rebecca Romijn in 1994 after they met at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show in which she was modeling. Stamos and Romijn became engaged on Christmas Eve 1997, and they married on September 19, 1998, at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

They announced their separation in April 2004.  John Stamos filed for divorce in August 2004, and it became final on March 1, 2005.

March 4, 2012/in Botox-Assisted-Breast-Augmentation, Breast Augmentation, New York City /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

As a specialist in cosmetic breast surgery, I perform a large number of breast augmentations. While over 300,000 breast augmentations were performed in the U.S. in 2011, not all of them were good ones. Breast Augmentations may appear easy to do, as evidenced by the countless poorly trained and inappropriate doctors trying to do this surgery. However, breast augmentation is very difficult to do really well and the revision rate for breast augmentation remains very high nationally. In my practice, I strive for natural-results, minimal complications, and a rapid recovery. I have created a technique for breast augmentation that I think helps me to achieve my goals. While perfection is impossible, I think I get pretty close. Read more

As 2011 came to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to look back at my top 3 procedures of the year. I performed over 500 surgical procedures in 2011, making it my busiest year ever. These procedures included cosmetic procedures of the face and body, as well as reconstructive surgeries from head to toe. To come up with my “Top 3”, I looked at several factors including the number of procedures performed, media requests about these procedures, and overall demand.

A photograph recently surfaced of Rocker Steven Tyler’s chest. I am writing this blog, not to poke fun at the Aerosmith frontman’s chest, but as an opportunity to discuss a very common problem among men. Gynecomastia, or male chest enlargement, is a complaint of men of all ages. It can develop anywhere from puberty to the 80’s. It can range from only mild chest enlargement or severe chest enlargement resembling female breasts. I have seen countless patients who report that they have not taken their shirt off in public for years, because of embarrassment. Imagine being a teenage boy and being so embarrassed that you will not go to the beach or the pool, or even change in the locker room. Surgical correction is possible and is life-changing!

October 11, 2011/in Brazilian Butt Lift /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

The success of a Brazilian Butt Lift has to do with the fat harvesting, processing, and injection technique.

This popular term refers to buttock augmentation with  fat transfer vs butt implants. These medical terms may seem confusing, but this means that we make your butt bigger using injections of your own fat. Fat is removed from areas of your body, this fat is processed and washed so that the fat cells are isolated, and then these fat cells are injected into your buttock.

In general, several hundred to 1000 cc of fat cells are injected during a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. So, how does making your butt bigger give you a “lift”? By adding volume to the butt, your backside becomes fuller, plumper, and actually gets lifted.

October 4, 2011/in Liposuction, Plastic Surgery /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in body contouring, I have performed cosmetic surgery on every possible body part – and some you didn’t even know existed. By far, the hardest body part to treat is the upper arms. This area is particularly susceptible to changes in weight and advancing age. This is because the skin is very thin and can sag easily. The result can be unsightly sagging and drooping that can be mild or very severe. My patients refer to their large sagging upper arms as “bat wings”.

Choosing a Plastic Surgeon is an important decision. You place an enormous amount of trust in your surgeon and he/she ultimately is responsible for your cosmetic results and your safety. No matter how you first found your surgeon, there are some key questions to ask before you commit to surgery. As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Cosmetic Surgery, here are 5 questions that I think are the most important:

September 12, 2011/in Breast Augmentation /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

Several times each day I am asked the question, “Saline vs Silicone Breast Implants?”  I explain that I cannot say which is “better” because it is impossible to define “better.”  Also, breast implant selection is a very personal decision.   I do tell my patients that silicone implants tend to look more natural and feel more natural.  They then must decide if this constitutes “better” in their mind.

September 2, 2011/in Breast Implants, Breast Augmentation /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

According to national data, the most common reason for reoperation after breast augmentation is not implant rupture, infection, or scarring….it is size change!

It is all too common for women to undergo breast augmentation yet still feel like they want to be bigger. As a board certified plastic surgeon specializes in cosmetic breast surgery, this makes me crazy because it is preventable.

August 18, 2011/in Plastic Surgery, Smooth Tuck, Tummy Tuck /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, I am always looking for the latest advances in cosmetic plastic surgery. Techniques and Technologies are constantly evolving. Many of these new methods are really nothing new, but every once in a while something really exciting comes along that allows me to offer my patients better results with less pain, recovery, and scarring. There have been a few of these advances that I am really excited about. These include Smooth Tuck®, Keller Funnel™, and PermaLip™.
