Tiny hole on my belly button ? (photos)

July 13, 2016
Asked By:CurvyBeauty in New York, NY

I am 3 months post op from a Tummy tuck & at 7 weeks I noticed a small hole around my belly button incision. It's now been over a month & it is still there. There isn't any redness, odor or otherwise sign of infection. I am now wondering if this is how my belly button has healed? I also saw a hair growing from the hole a few days ago & I just poked it out thinking that was Why It wouldnt close. Also every couple days I notice a tiny amount of white substance that came out of the hole.
