Ziyad Hammoudeh, MD · Answer

Bruising is very common in the first week or two following surgery.  However, I would recommend following up closely with the surgeon that performed the umbilical hernia repair in this early postoperative period to evaluate for any potential complications.Ziyad Hammoudeh, MD

Bruising is normal. The hernia was repaired from under the connective tissue. Any blood from the area will seep into the fatty tissue under the skin and causing bruising. It will go away over the next few weeks.
