What is the name of the company or manufacturer of the silicone balls used in the belly button after tummy tuck?

Question

Many doctors on this forum have mentioned small silicone balls that can be used to help belly button edema recede after a tummy tuck. Can anyone provide a company or name? I am currently using a marble and it's not that comfortable. I can't seem to find anything online. I'm two weeks post full tummy tuck with liposuction and otherwise I'm healing well.

Hello, the issue of edema in the umbilical area is tricky-- if something too tight is put into the umbilicus, it could cause problems. I do not use any type of balls or even gauze. I feel it is better to let the edema resolve naturally.Good luck.

THis is something I have never heard of. But, electing to put a ball, marble or other foreighn obkect in yoiur belly button immediately after a tummy tuck could lead to complications. Follow the instructions of your plastic surgeon. My gallery of tummy tuck before and after photos will give you an idea of what belly buttons can look like after tummy tuck surgery.
