My belly button looks so ugly after my tummy tuck it's been 6 days and I'm wondering does the appearance improve over time or is what you see what you get?

Answer: Bellybutton healing after a tummy tuck The bellybutton should healed right in step with the rest of the incisions. As days and weeks go by, the scars tend to get flatter and smoother. It may take three months before you have a good idea of what the bellybutton will finally look like.

Answer: Belly button healing Hello. Just like the rest of your tummy, the belly button can appear swollen after a tummy tuck. It will take weeks for the swelling to improve and you will see your final result 3-6 months after surgery. If you notice your belly button skin color changes and no longer looks pink or you notice drainage from the incision around it or a new odor from the wound, these are indications to call your doctor immediately. Otherwise, have patience and know that you are just in the beginning of your healing phase.
