Bellybuttons. How do they go from the umbilical cord to being bellybutton shape (innie or outie)?

Question

You always see the doctor cut the cord and then carry the baby away.

What do they do? Pull the cord? Does it just come away? Or do they cut it to shape?

I’m 26. This all makes me squeamish. Plz hlp.
