How is that possible?!?
Your belly button is the scar left over from the umbilical cord which nourished you while in the womb. You HAVE to have one!

I have an innie with a scar on it from a freak emergency gallbladder removal surgery...

For those who didn't know... an outie belly button is actually an umbilligus hernia. I learned that little jewel of info in Small Animal Diseases.

I know. I thought he just had to be lying, so I told him to prove it. So, he pulled up his shirt, and sure enough, no belly button. I don't want to get all gross, so the short version is that surgical procedures at birth caused him to not have a belly button. Oddly enough, there was no scar, either.

A story to go with my innie... I was born with a hernia. The doctor taped a silver dollar over my belly button so I wouldn't have an outie. Or, at least that's one of the many stories I've heard every year on my birthday.

OMG, a noie belly button?!!!! Must of had a face lift and pulled it to taught!

I have an innie, but it's weird. It's all stretched vertically, and when I'm standing it's basically just a line. I hate it. I think it got stretched out when I had a growth spurt - is that possible?

Everyone else has these cute little round belly buttons, and mine is all tall and skinny.

Mine is turning into an innie. When I was playing sports in HS/college I had a low body fat, but now that I am out of school my body fat is probably around 15% which is normal but the fat starts to overlap the bellybutton which makes it look like an innie.

I don't know if it's hereditary. My mother, two sisters, and I have innies. Maybe it is the way that the doctor tied the cord.

My bf had an operation that caused his belly button to disappear so the doctor made one for him. It is an innie also.

Some babies are born with birth defects such as your bowels on the outside of your body. When this is surgically repaired it leaves no belly button. I know someone who had plastic surgery to create a fake belly button.
One of Mr ZTAMiami's nieces was born premature at 28 weeks. She had a major outie because it never healed properly. She is now 9 years old and had surgery to correct it. She looks great now!

I have a pierced innie, but it's also more like a line. My sister (bilogical) has an outtie. It has gotten less "outtie" as she's gotten older (it used to be really obvious) but now, its just a poufy innie...sort of.

I had an outtie til I was about 11 or so. Now I have a really cute (I think) innie. I had surgery in March and they went in thru my belly button so I have a tiny hole, but really you can't see it anymore.
My grandfather had surgery to repair a hernia and he no longer had a belly button. Sorta surreal

Mine is like that too.

My boyfriend has what looks like an outie inside an innie. I've never seen anything like it. What a freak.
