12 Days After TT and Belly Button is Looking a Little Gray Inside. Is This Normal? (photo)

It is looking better since last week (using bacitracin) and less irritated looking. No drainage, just the bleeding and scabs, and no foul smell. Will the inside pink up with time or is the color a sign of my BB not healing properly?
A: Belly button takes awhile to heal

The belly button is sometimes difficult to heal.  It usually looks worse before it looks better. As long as the incision is healing around it and it is turning pink it will be ok.

After a Tummy Tuck What Happens to the Stitches to Repair Ab Separation. I Am 34 Days out and Feel Them More.

When I bend over I get a twinge of pain I feel like is from the stitches used in the ab separation. I had a 2" separation that was closed from the top to the bottom. I have been feeling great but just lately I feel like at the top and middle I feel a couple stitches. Are these permanent? Do they dissolve? What can I expect? I go by to my PS in 2 weeks -- just wondering if it is something I should worry about.
A: Feeling Sutures

Repair of separated muscles of the abdomen are usually permanent . However your surgeon may have done it differently.  He will be able to tell you exactly what he used and what will happen to them.  This is sometimes the case when women do not have a thick fat layer in that area. I would not worry about this.

Should I Get a Mini Tummy Tuck or a Full? is There Any Non Surgical Options for Me? (photo)

So I had a baby 3 years ago and this completely ruined my stomach. I am 21 years old, I exercise regularly and have been trying EVERYTHING to get rid of this. Before pregnancy I was 115 lbs, I ended up weighing 180 lbs the day before delivery. Finally down to 133 lbs I am about ready to be able to wear a bikini. Is there any other options then surgery for me? I plan on having this done by june so please let me know soon!
A: Abdominal contour after childbirth

Thanks for your question!

Based on your photo you have typical abdominal wall and skin changes post-pregnancy.  You may have a separation of your abdominal wall muscles, have stretch marks above and below the umbilicus and you have some adiposity around the belly button.

Typically this combination is best treated with a full abdominoplasty and muscle plication.  Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss these issues in depth as well as discuss potential treatment.

I hope this helps.
