Full abdominoplasty 9/22/15. (Two weeks Post Op) Saw my surgeon one week ago and he was not alarmed at all and told me the belly button is the last thing to heal, but I want a second opinion. Are these bubbles inside normal? Otherwise thrilled with my results!

Answer: Bubble inside belly button 2 weeks post-op Congratulations on your recent surgery! At two weeks post-op, it is common to have swelling that could be causing this issue for you. You have a long way to go to see your final result so if you are happy now, you will most likely be thrilled once all of the swelling is gone. I would follow the instructions your surgeon gives you to ensure an optimal result. Best of luck with the rest of your recovery!

Answer: Belly button healing Thank you for question.The bubbles you are referring to are swelling. This is completely normal this early in healing. One thing you could try is placing a marble or if that is too big you can start with a small amount of guaze. This helps to put pressure on the tissue and push the swelling out faster. Everything you are seeing right now is normal, it just takes longer for the belly button to heal. Good luck.
