What can I clean my belly button with after a tummy tuck?

Dear misskaymae88,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thanks for your question. I recommend that patients clean their umbilicus, or belly button, using hydrogen peroxide, it works well to loosen dried blood and drainage, which if left in place can contribute to inflammation in that area.
