I had a tubal ligation 3 days ago. Is it normal for me not to see the stitches I have in my belly button?

Question

I keep looking to see if I can see the stitches but I don’t see them. After I shower do I have to cover my incision? If so, with what?

Dear alemoniquee,
this is the question you should ask your surgeon because every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
