I had a TT May 2021. June 2022, my belly button had keloid & started to close up which then started to leak smelly fluid. I got an ultrasound that said “heterogeneous complex hypoechoic mass which may be a complex cyst, measuring 2.2 x 3.3 x 1.4 cm.” Should I be worried? My orig TT was done in D.R. I went back to D.R. last summer for bb revision & I was fine. Now it’s March and bb is leaking again, keloid came back & is pretty much closed.Do I need to get a bb revision or new TT

Answer: Revision The belly button may need to be revised again making it larger to accommodate the keloid filling that area in and not allow the remaining skin cells to slough naturally or be cleaned.

Answer: Consequences of traveling for elective procedures I do not recommend anybody travel long distances to have major elective surgical procedures. Patient did not seem to appreciate the importance of having multiple in person, consultations before scheduling surgery, the number of patients who have major concerns after surgery, that complications actually happen or the number of people who need revisions after surgery. Your surgeon is responsible for the outcome of the procedure and you were responsible for choosing that surgeon. Do you have a situation that requires medical intervention by competent doctors, including a plastic surgeon, and most likely working with a team approach, including an infectious disease physician. The infected or contaminated area needs to be explored the breed and you need wound care until you are healed properly. About the keloid on your belly button, but rather contaminated tissue that is infected and this needs to be treated appropriately. You can call around and ask if local plastic surgeons in your community are willing to take on your case. You should expect to pay for the care if you do that. Generally, dancer is for you to go back to your surgeon and have him or her manager of postoperative complications. You were able to travel to your surgeon twice before so going there a third time may be a reasonable approach as well. What is clear is that you need quality medical treatment that includes a competent plastic surgeon. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
