6 Months on...
Hiya,
Just checking in 6 months on to post pictures of results. I've been absolutely fine. Belly button lookIng much better but is really small, I think it just healed too much really, I'm told it will relax over time so it's just a waiting game. I'm much happier than I was with it now though. I'm going back in a few weeks to have little skin tags removed at each end of scar and some fluid/fat deposits taken out. It's a minor op and if all goes to plan I will be happy and feel like it's been a journey worth while. Sorry all photos have uploaded upside down!!

Overgrown skin
This is what my belly button decided to do its self- apparently called over granulation!!! The creases are just where the tape has been.

Hi, if you get your BB sorted are you happy overall? I don't know if it helps your case, but I have read about other tummy tuckers being advised to tape a 'marble' into their bb! Not sure about that one, but I guess it would not hurt to get an opinion if other means of healing are not working for you. Hope you are happy with that it in the end.....c X
Hiya anon, overall I am happy yes but I think my belly button does look fake. I know they come in all shapes and sizes but mine looks like a mouth haha! Ive heard of the marble thing too I'm not sure if it could change the shape it's sewn in but you're right it's worth an ask! On the lipo front maybe I had too higher expectations and I probably still do have swelling. I am very happy with how neat my incisions are and the placement of them. Everyone has commented on how good he is at stitching. My boobs are great too so on the whole considering how much I had done it's just the BB [RS bleep]
Just had a quick look back at some of my pics, in the early days my BB did not look so great and now it is much better, probably still some healing to go even after 6 months....so hopefully you will feel/see improvement with yours over time too C X
Hopefully :) thanks for the words of encouragement X
Btw think your pics look great, neat scar. When your Bb settles down that should be good too.

7 weeks quick review
Well 7 weeks tomorrow and not really much to report. Recovery has been great with no hiccups really except my belly button slightly over healed which had to be cut but all very minor stuff. My lipo areas still hurt to sleep on and I think are still swollen or should I say I hope as I don't look any different!! I'm happy with my boobs and the position of my TT scar but am really holding my breath on the belly button front as I've only got the bottom half as you'll see in the picture it's cut in a half circle shape. I see what the thinking is behind it as its meant to form a hood but I've never seen one like this before and don't see how it's gonna end up looking like a proper circle one that everyone else has :( I asked my surgeon and he said he hasn't done anything different to anyone else's. At this moment I'm struggling to keep the faith with that bit if I'm honest but I guess that's where you just have to put your worries to the back of your mind and trust the professional you chose. I'll upload pics now and let you see for yourselves oh and Ive still got the little skin tags on each side which should flatten out to nothing in time [RS bleep]
