Blistering Belly button

Please follow up with your plastic surgeon and follow his or her recommendations. The surgeon may lance the fluid to help determine what it may represent and to more accurately assess the tissue beneath the fluid. Good Luck. Dr. ES

Blister Above Belly Button

A painless "blister" in that location most likely signals a small fluid collection about to drain or a permanent suture about to become visible. Both of these are minor complications and with prompt care resolve quickly. You should go back and see your Plastic surgeon and have him/her help you.
