How to heal belly button after tummy tuck? Will I be okay? What should I be doing? (Photo)

Hello,

While healing difficulties tend to happen after abdominoplasty to one degree or another, pseudomonas infection is something to not ignore. If you are still having foul smelling drainage from your wound contact your surgeon asap to be evaluated. If you see a little bit of drainage superficially, it could mean that there is a fluid collection or abscess underneath that needs to be drained by your surgeon. Make sure you have frequent follow up with your surgeon when you are having problems. If you are experiencing worsening redness, fevers, chills, nausea, etc you may need to go to the emergency room for evaluation. But before you do anything, call your surgeon!

Good luck.

Your pictures are concerning.  Despite the distance between you, technology may allow you to share these pictures with your plastic surgeon, who may then be able to offer advice on caring for your umbilicus.  If you are unable to contact your surgeon, I would suggest seeking out the opinion of a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.  Explain your history in detail and, if you are able, request a copy of your records from the surgeon who performed the procedure.   Many surgeons are very willing to help out and care for you, even if they have not performed your surgery.  Best of luck to you.
