Patients benefit from personalized care, expert diagnosis, and a smooth recovery process, all performed in a safe, accredited facility in LA.

An umbilical hernia occurs when tissue (such as intestine or fat) pushes through a weakened area in the abdominal wall near the navel, creating a bulge or swelling at the belly button. While this condition affects infants, it also occurs in adults-especially in those with obesity, multiple pregnancies, heavy lifting, or prior abdominal surgery. Left untreated, an umbilical hernia may lead to discomfort, pain during exertion, or serious complications like incarceration (trapping) or strangulation (loss of blood supply).

• Signs, Symptoms & When to Seek Help

Common signs include a noticeable lump near the belly button that may increase in size when standing, coughing, or straining, and often recedes when lying down. Some patients report tugging sensations, aching pain, or digestive discomfort. Because hernias can worsen over time, any persistent bulge or discomfort-especially with associated nausea or redness-should prompt evaluation by a surgeon.

• Surgical Repair: What You Need to Know

Under the care of Dr. Babak Moein, umbilical hernia repair is offered using modern surgical techniques tailored to each patient. The procedure typically involves repositioning herniated tissue and reinforcing the abdominal wall-often with the use of surgical mesh for added strength. Depending on the case, repair may be done via open surgery or laparoscopic minimally invasive approaches to reduce pain, minimize scarring, and speed recovery.

Dr. Moein combines his expertise in general surgery and aesthetic body contouring to plan repairs that are not only functionally sound but also considerate of the abdominal appearance-especially for patients who value both medical outcomes and cosmetic harmony.

• Recovery & Long-Term Outcomes

Most patients recover smoothly with a short hospital stay or even same-day discharge, depending on the complexity. Mild swelling and soreness are expected, but many return to light activity within days and full activity within a few weeks, under guidance. Wearing supportive compression and avoiding heavy lifting are key in early recovery. With careful technique and post‐operative care, the risk of recurrence is minimized, and patients often regain full abdominal strength and comfort.
