Crusty belly button and rippled skin 2.5 weeks post op fTT and lipo of the flanks. (Photos)

November 5, 2017
Asked By:Momcave2017 in Upland, CA

My bellybutton is healing more narrow as opposed to round and oval can a scar revision be done once healed? Is it safe to use bacitracin and cover the bellybutton with a Band-Aid during this phase? There is yellow crust inside of it. Will the rippled skin along my incision smooth out over time it has improved some however I'm still not happy with the look of the stretch marks getting caught within the incision line. Will the swelling in the pubic area subside ?? Thanks!
