![]() ![]() Medical conditions that increase your chances of having an “outie” What remains is your navel or belly button, a leftover of where and how your umbilical cord decided to attach. The remaining umbilical stump usually falls off in about 2 weeks (sometimes longer) after birth. When you were born and no longer needed the umbilical cord, a doctor (or sometimes a loved one with the assistance of a doctor) cut the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord has several key blood vessels that provide nutrients and oxygen to a growing fetus. The button is where the cord joined the body. The belly button is the remnant of where the umbilical cord connected a baby to its mother during pregnancy. What determines the shape of your belly button? Some people also compare a light bulb-shaped belly button to an upside-down beer or wine bottle. Light bulbĪ light bulb-shaped belly button has very little hooding on the top, with a slightly oval shape that narrows as it goes down - much like a light bulb. However, it doesn’t have any hooding or covering, instead it appears symmetrically rounded. RoundĪ round belly button isn’t quite an outie belly button - but it’s close.Ī round belly button is still concave or protruding inward. This belly button type differs from a deep hollow belly button because the top portion of skin almost completely covers the innermost portion of the belly button. A depression at the top of the belly button may look like the line that crosses a “T.” Horizontal (typically narrow)Īlso known as a T-type belly button, a horizontal belly button has most of the belly button fold going horizontally. A vertical belly button is the most common belly button type, according to an article from 2010. Some doctors call a vertical belly button a “split” belly button because it looks like the portion of the stomach makes a slight up-and-down split.Ī vertical belly button typically has very little hooding over its top, instead looking much like an “I” imprinted in the skin. Some people in this category may have a “funnel” belly button, which is common with excess abdominal fat. This belly button type resembles a slightly open mouth. Deep hollowĪ deep hollow belly button will typically appear if there’s a shadow underneath the belly button’s top fold. It seems like most people in this story are too concerned with reputation, rules, and what is proper and normal.Protruding belly buttons are often called “outies.” An estimated 10 percent of the population has an outie belly button with the remainder having an “innie,” according to a chapter in the eBook Umbilicus and Umbilical Cord.Īn outie occurs when the remaining portion of the umbilical stump, where your umbilical cord was attached, goes out instead of in. (2.1.2) Again we see that no one sees Benjamin for who he is, nor stops to wonder at the miraculous nature of his life. ![]() Roscoe believed that "live wires" should keep young, but carrying it out on such a scale was-was-was inefficient. Indeed, to think about the matter for as much as a half an hour drove him to the edge of insanity. He is equally concerned with what is right or proper, which means Benjamin’s age is wrong simply because it goes against the rules: It seemed to him that his father, in refusing to look sixty, had not behaved like a "red-blooded he-man"-this was Roscoe's favourite expression-but in a curious and perverse manner. His father ought to be older than him, and Benjamin is breaking the rules by allowing himself to be younger. Roscoe isn’t just bothered by Benjamin’s age, but by Benjamin’s age relative to him. Just as Roger insisted that Benjamin dye his hair and dress like a boy, so Roscoe tries to make him wear fake whiskers and eyeglasses. ![]() Roscoe, Benjamin's son, is no different than Roger Button when it comes to dealing with Benjamin’s reverse aging. ![]()
