5 months post op TT now and I noticed a dry, dark line on top of my belly button, what is this and will it go away? (photos)

Asked By:Bestview8 in Los Angeles, CA

I am very happy with the results of my TT and lipo. Recently about a month ago I noticed a dry area forming on the top left of my belly button and it has continued to rise up lengthening. The skin feels different than the other skin and is rough and darker. What could this be and is it going to go away eventually? Thanks!

Jonathan Kaplan, MD, MPH says:

It sounds like you are still in recovery from the knee replacement if you are not off the pain pills and still not fully mobile. That being said, you should wait until you are back to normal to have a tummy tuck. It is a large procedure, and being that it is elective, I would recommend...
