Why some belly buttons get dark after a tummy tuck? What can I do to prevent it from happening? Thank you
It is related to your own skin color. The darker your the darker your navel. Normally we do not see the normal color of the Belly button because it remains inside, but after TT we pull the skin out, so now it becomes obvious. Also scar tissue become darker on dark skin patients. There is no way to prevent it.After surgery and after is 100% healed, you may try Hydroquinona 4% cream. May work, may not. But if your results are awesome, nobody will notice your BB color ;)Dr. Cardenas
