What determines if one has an innie or outie belly button? Genetics? How the doctor ties the umbilical cord? How it heals and falls off?
In: 36
When you’re born, the umbilical cord is cut and you have a small piece left called the umbilical stump. One to 2 weeks after birth, this stump falls off and what remains is your belly button. As a result, your belly button is essentially a scar. Whether it’s an innie or outie depends on how your skin grows as it heals.
