What is this pimple looking thing in my belly button? (Photo)

Question

Doctor said he preserved my belly button during TT, and everything was looking good until about 10 days PO. Now it looks like I have a pimple inside my BB. It's not green or hot or painful. It's reddish color.

It is difficult to say what that is without examining you in person. It may be some granulation tissue etc. I recommend you ask your surgeon to take a look at it and see if they have any recommendations.It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic
surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has
extensive experience in tummy tuck / abdominoplasty.

I wish you the best.

Dr. Gabbay.

It is difficult to assess what the lesion is from the photo.  It may be a scar tissue or granulating tissue from suture.  Please ask your plastic surgeon to evaluate the lesion.Best regards.
