Asked By:takeme2thebeech in Rancho Cordova, CA

I am 10 days post full tt with lipo. I went to my first follow up and my belly button was completely covered in a black scab. I didnt get to see the surgeon but seen the nurse and she said its fine. She told me to gently clean and put anibiotic ointment. My follow up is not for another two weeks but now it just looks bad to me. Could it be necrosis?
