May 17, 2015
Asked By:Fa2014 in Miami, FL

This is my tummy tuck scar and belly button revision with the same Dr. Ary Krau. My belly button did not improve even a little but its color got worst now its like purple and i do know all belly buttons are dark and after surgery they might be more visible but mine is kind of purple. My question is would hydroquinone help? Do i put it all over the belly button? I am using the silicone stripes on the tt scar and it seems also really dark which did not happened with the prior scar
