Newport Beach Liposuction - Body Contouring Orange County

Orange County Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover - Hole in belly button normal?

Having a small separation around the new umbilicus (belly button) can occur.  It can occur as there is diminished blood supply in this area following abdominoplasty as well as too much tension.  This type of wound will usually heal on it’s own but wet to dry dressing changes with normal saline solution will help clean it up and stimulate some granulation tissue.  Revision is usually not necessary. 
Check with your plastic surgeon.
