Redness Around Belly Button 4 Weeks After Tummy Tuck. Is This Normal?

August 31, 2012
Asked By:Marijohn

There is redness all around the perimeter of my belly button. On the left half of my belly button there are red dots as if were stiches. Although I don't have any more stiches around it, there is a little scab. I saw my PS a week ago and saw my incisions and said everything was healing nicely. I just would like a second opinion. I am 4 weeks post op. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
