Can and do I need a belly button revision? (Photo)

Thank you for the picture.How long ago was the surgery? this is a question that might be important in order to let the healing process benefit the belly button. If the answer is more than 12 weeks, then I would suggest to continue with the laser treatments until they're all completed.Dr. Campos

Thank you for your question and photograph. Complete your laser treatments to reduce pigmentation and redness of your scar. Wait until UR6 to 12 months postop. Your belly button can be revised by tightening the belly button stalk to the fascia in an attempt to create an inny.

Your picture shows both the importance of paying close attention to repairing the belly button and the possibility that an unattractive scar can result no matter what is done. Luckily, there are many revision/repair options available. If the laser does not fix the problem, I would pursue these with your surgeon. All can be done under local anesthesia and in under an hour to get you well on your way.Best,Dr. Pyle
