Umbilicoplasty. Spokane, WA

Healing well! Some swelling, bruising and slight skin irritation from the bandaid, but it's looking good! Some stitches get removed next week I believe.

After having two kids my innie belly button turned to an outie. I was really unhappy with how it looked. It was very difficult to find the resources to find who and how to get this fixed. I went and saw Dr. Karp about it, and him and I both decided a tummy tuck was a little too aggressive of a treatment. Although I do have some extra skin, we agreed that could be something to address with a mini tummy tuck later down the road. I changed the dressing today and I can already tell it's going to be beautiful! It's very swollen, with lots of stitches but I'll get a photo when I change the dressing again tomorrow. The procedure was done under local anesthetic and was essentially pain free and took about an hour. I can't wait to see it all healed up!
