Belly button scar

By Jodi S. on 27 May 2011

I'd like to wear a bikini this summer but my scar is still pretty red around my belly button. Did you girls wait till it was completely white to wear a two piece? Any tips on making it less noticeable? The only trick I can think of is to keep it slathered in sunscreen.

I am also very curious about this. I am almost 6 weeks post op and still quite dark around my belly button.

Definitely keep sunblock on that belly button for the first year.  It does take a while to heal and fade and you do not want the sun on it right now.  Slather it up good or keep it covered.
