I worried my belly button is splitting. What do you think? What can I do to make it not get longer. It's the weekend I cannot see my Dr till monday
Answer: Nothing to worry about Although it's difficult to see what exactly is going on, it seems to me like this is not a wound opening but rather a slight scar abnormality. This is not an emergency and you can easily wait until you see your surgeon next week.

Answer: Concerns about bellybutton Thank you for your picture. You have an abrasion. I don't think your belly button is "splitting". I would cover it and call your plastic surgeon this weekend through his or her answering service to get opinions.

Answer: Belly button Your belly button appears ok. The pictures aren't great and you didn't tell us how long ago you had surgery, but I think it will be fine. If you are concerned then definitely visit your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Is my belly button splitting? Thank you for the question and the photographs. From the pictures provided while difficult to discern it would appear as though there is an abrasion or a small laceration in the area of your umbilicus. I advise to keep it clean and apply antibiotic ointment to the area. Having said that each of us have our own way of managing the patient in the post operative period. I would recommend to contact your plastic surgeon, through the answering service, over the weekend. Best of luck.

Answer: Bellybutton concern Hello, thanks for the pictures and question. It appears you have a wound but it doesn't appear the bellybutton is splitting. Place some antibacterial ointment on it, such as Neosporin, and see your doctor as soon as he/she is available to take a closer look. Best of luck in healing.
