It's been almost a month since my surgery today is day 29, I'm still wearing tapes but put some scar cream to help with my scar healing. It's someway pink-ish on one side, in person you can see the scar line over my belly button, not that much in this picture. As of now I feel ok, with the progress I just hope my scar line really does diminish more and becomes fairly noticible. I have an appointment on Thursday so the doctor can take off my tapes and see how I'm healing. I think even if he tells me I don't have to wear the tapes I still will because I've been told they really do help reduce excess scaring. As of now tapes are my comfort lol. Will post more pictures soon!

Looking like a normal bellybutton!! and your tummy looks toned and awesome so even if there is a tiny scar I highly doubt anyone will notice! Can't wait to see more pics as your healing progresses. I'll hopefully be scheduling my bellybutton scar revision soon, also. Happy healing :).

Looks great, I'm having the same problem with my belly piercing. I have a 9 month old baby and am back to my normal weight. I'm 22 and want to look my age and not like I had a baby!

Today I had my weekly check up after the doctor cut off my stitches. What I didn't notice was that I still had some stitches in my skin but not knotted they were loose just in my skin. Today he pulled them out so now I'm completely stitch free but he added new tape. So far my scar is really barely noticeable. He says I may not even need scar healing cream because it looks so good. The nurse that helped my doctor with surgery asked to see my belly button and said " oh it looks good, it's not a sad belly button any more!" Lol yes my skin above my belly button was kind of dropping down covering a little part of the top of my belly button, and was wrinkly around the piercing hole It wasn't that that bad but it really bothered me. Anyway I go back in 2 weeks to take of my tapes and I will post new pictures then. As of now I'm still using them to help my healing. I feel 80% healed though, sometimes I get a little sharp pain if I do certain movement that require core strength but nothing major. It's really been a breeze! Will keep you guys posted! :)
