I got my full tummy tuck in Europe 13 days ago. I am back to US. I noticed a nicrosis on my belly botton. I was told by my Dr. in Europe to care with alchool 70% and apply Zaderm gel (silicone based scar gel from Germany, not found in US). My family Dr. here recomended to start washing with warm water and soap, and use vitamin E oil on scars.

Answer: See your doctor if possible Since it may be hard for you see your doctor your best bet is to pay to see a plastic surgeon in the area you live. He or she will charge you based on the time and level of complexity of what you need. If you need treatment such as aspiration of a seroma you may find that you are going to spend a good bit of additional money. When having surgery out of the country you should know that it can be risky and cost more then you think in the end if things like this pop up since the USA doctor you see has no idea what was done to you and will charge you for treatment. In fact many plastic surgeons you call will not want to see you since they do not want to assume the risk. Good Luck!

Answer: Belly button I don't see any necrosis on your navel. It looks alive and well! I would always follow what your surgeon recommends.
