Everyone has either one of two belly buttons: an inny or an outty , but what causes you to have an inny or an outty?

I think it's the way the umbiblical cord was cut.

The bellybutton is a scar on the abdomen, caused when the umbilical cord is removed from a newborn baby. In humans, the scar can appear as a depression ("innie") or as a protrusion ("outie").The shape of the belly button comes from the attachment scar to the fascia (muscle), the looseness of skin, the fat under the skin, and the tension of what is behind the abdominal wall. Umbilical hernias can cause a change of belly button shape. Also, with the distension of the belly of pregnancy, the abdominal wall pushes out. This can change the shape of the belly button: for some more shallow and for others, "pop out." Bellybuttons are essentially scars, and not in any way defined by genetics.
Hope this helps ;-)

Depends on the doctor that was in attendance when your mother gave birth to you. When they cut your umbilical cord, the doctor ties either one way or the other, an inny or an outy. So really it just depends on the style of the way the doctor ties it off.

Of course like finger prints, each person has a rather unique navel; a.k.a. "belly button." Probably you know that it is the healed tissue that derives from the remnants of the fetal umbilical cord. Because each "injury" is different, each "scar" as it becomes a belly button is correspondingly different: producing an "inny" or "outy" type.

Inny. I just cut my fingernails Friday last week. My toenails were cut about a month ago.

your belly button is where the cord that connected your baby self to your mom was cut off. so if the doctor cut it off all nice and clean, you're an inny, if not-so-nice-and-clean, then you're an outty.

It just depends on what way the doctor cut it. Your made the same either way.

i believe that it is just how the umbilical stump falls off. i doubt it's how the doctor ties it, because it actually get's clamped, not tied in a knot.
