I am 6 weeks post op and the skin above my belly button is not reattaching as quickly as the other skin. This area is the only area I had stretch marks and not sure if that is the reason why. My doctor advised me to continue to wear garment another 4-6 weeks and I would like to know what is the probablity of this skin reattaching. Is there anything I can do to help the process?
