I got a tummy tuck in October 2019. My TT looks great. The scar is flat though still red. I can't complain because my skin keloids. My belly button however is not beautiful. If you look at it, it is obvious that I got a TT done. What can be done in this case? My belly button did keloid and even appears to have spider looking lines all around it.
I am 1 year post Op of a tummy tuck and my belly button is so dark raised and ugly. This past week its been sensitive to touch and I noticed some dried blood inside and a little discharge that is dry as well. Will I need a revision or steroid injections. Is it costly?
Hi. I had a tummy tuck 5/2021. Initially my scars looked red/purplish however have darkened over time. Im having a revision to my abdomen scar but its my navel Im having the most issue with. It did keloid which after 3 roundso of Kenalog steroid injections flattened. Now its hyperpigmented. Ive had 2 sessions of pixel8 with minimal improvement. I like the shape of my belly button but I cant deal with how dark its become. Any thoughts?
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair July 2020. 6 months later I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery. All my other scars healed properly except for the one above my belly button due to me developing cellulitis. . I have a skin colored keloid that is vertical above my belly button. Its not very big maybe 2 inches in length. But I have another small one at the top inner part of my belly button from the first surgery. Im just wondering if theres anyway to fix without another tt.
I recieved a tummy tuck, muscle repair and lipo on my flanks 3 years ago. After my surgery my husband and I didn't get the proper instructions to care for my bellybutton after my surgery. My bellybutton got infected and healed very ugly and now I have a keloid surrounding my bellybutton. I did receive steroid treatment after to shrink it but I stopped because it started to change my skin color on the injection areas. My bellybutton scar is thick and it hurts.
I'm 6 months post op from a tummy tuck and BA. I suffered a belly button infection 11/2 days after surgery with pseudomonas. I believe It was due to neurotic tissue. My belly button is healed now and has keloid scar tissue all around it. A consulted surgeon said my BB died and since it has keloids it will be very difficult to do a revision. That removing the keloids would leave a big hole. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Would a revision work? How long do I have to wait?
