Hey you! Yeah, you! Feeling pretty OK about the way you look today? Got a little extra spring in your step? Well, stop it right now and take a look down at your stomach and get out your ruler! Because you yes you may very well have an imperfect belly button. I know, right? Like you didn't have enough to worry about.

Via Daily Mail:

Surgeons at the University of Singapore's Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, whose research was published in ASJ, analyzed images of 37 Playboy Playmates (really) to assess the ideal length, shape and position of the navel.

With the help of a computerized tool called an 'Aesthetic Analyzer', they established that a perfect belly button has a ratio of 46:54, and a midline horizontal position.

The ideal length is 5 percent of the length from the lower breastbone to the lower part of the vulvar cleft, and the 'hood,' or flap, is very small.

Luckily, I am terrible at math and therefore have absolutely no interest in using it in order to find things wrong with myself. In fact, I can think of few things I would be less likely to voluntarily do.

However, plastic surgeon Dr. Adam Rubinstein of Miami, Florida, tells Today.com that most people just want their belly button to be in the 'range of normal.'

'Using Playboy Playmates is kind of an arbitrary sample. Just because these women are considered beautiful doesn't mean they have beautiful belly buttons,' he said.

The "range of normal?" This is a thing? I mean, I have one friend with a slightly off-center belly-button, and we all find that kind of endearing. I have an all the way innie that comes to a point. I'm pretty OK with it. Aren't belly buttons kind of just there? I mean, is there any such thing as a truly stunning one?
