Umbilicoplasty or belly button surgery is undertaken to improve the shape or appearance of the umbilicus (also called the navel)

The costs depend on whether you have previously had surgery which has failed, whether you have a hernia through the umbilicus and whether you are able to have surgery under local or general anaesthetic, and which hospital you choose.  

For a skin-only procedure under local anaesthetic, average costs for surgery are around £1695, including one follow-up.
