Purple Belly Button Scar, Will This Fade? (photo)

This purple discoloration around the umbilicus following an abdominoplasty is most likely temporary and will resolve over time.  At this point I can only suggest massage of the area and time.  

Dear Samantha66,  Redness in scars after surgery usually reaches its maximum around 3 to 6 mouths post-op and thens begins to fade until gradually reaching a white color-a process that can take a year or more to occur.  During this healing process,it is important to avoid sunlight on the incision so sunblock is critical.  The incision can be concealed using body makeup during the healing process,  There are a number of good scar treatment products on the market that can also help speed the healing and the fading of the incision.  Please discuss this with your plastic surgeon who can advise you on your progress in your recovery.
