Answer: Umbilical hernia repair Hello,It is common to feel hardness and localised inflammation around the belly button after Tummy Tuck with umbilical hernia repair. You are still very early in recovery and it will take months for the swelling to resolve and hardness of scars to soften. If you are noting any concerning changes or increased pain, I recommend that you contact your Plastic Surgeon for advise.Take care

Answer: Hard and painful belly button after tummy tuck surgery Its very common to experience localised pain, swelling and hardness around the belly button after tummy tuck and hernia repair surgery. You are in the very early stages of your post operative recovery and these issues should all resolve over time. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.
