I had tummy tuck surgery on May 2007. Now on March 2009, I smelled a bad odor coming from my belly button right ater a shower, with a richly scented shower gel. What can I do? Is it dangerous?

Answer: Bad odor from the bellybutton
It is possible that you may be experiencing a small infection from your bellybutton or some information that may be caused by an underlying suture. Keep the area clean and dry and present to the plastic surgeon performed the tummy tuck. They will want to see your bellybutton and hear of your concerns. The plastic surgeon will examine this area and may remove a stitch that has been working its way out through the skin. Once it's irritating material is, your skin should heal without difficult.

Answer: Use a Q tip on your navel for post tummy tuck odor Sometimes after an abdominoplasty the scar around the navel contracts leaving the opening too tight and small in circumference. The body naturally sloughs skin and debris, but in a contracted area that is hard to get to, this build up of dead cells can be a good place for bacteria to hide and grow. Don't be afraid to vigorously cleanse the area with a cotton tip applicator stick and some anti bacterial astringent.
