Would I be a candidate for belly button revision? (Photo)

Question

I had a TT in June 2021. I have always hated the way my belly button looked after surgery. Now it is worse because of the scar. WouldI be a candidate for a belly button revision?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Yes, you are a candidate for a belly button revision.  An elliptical incision is made, the skin is pulled down and the scar is hidden at the base attached to the underlying umbilicus,

Best Wishes,

Dear stillscared,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you have hypertrophic scar and you might benefit from steroid injections. If you are considering treatment, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
