Asked By:newGG in Memphis, TN

I had a TT and breast augmentation on April 20, 2015 and am approximately 10 weeks post op. At approximately 4 weeks my surgeon passed away, but he was pleased with my progress. However the hole where my belly button is shows no sign of healing. Maybe I popped something while sneezing??I pack it with a bit of gauze and an earplug to keep it from closing altogether, but i think it should have healed by now.
