Is my compression garment causing necrosis of belly button? (Photo)

I have not seen a compression garment cause injury to the belly button. On occasion
the belly button is slow to hear or can leak a small amount of fluid. This usually
resolves on its own and the belly button always goes on to heal. The purpose of
the garment is to help control swelling and possibly decrease the fluid that
can accumulate under the skin. It should not be painful. You should discuss
these problems with your surgeon. I am sure your surgeon would want to know that the compression is causing you pain.
