Hole in Belly Button Post-Tummy Tuck surgery
I had Tummy Tuck surgery more than 2 months ago, and I have a hole in my belly button; it looks like it's open all the way and I'm worried that it might get infected. What should I do?

Thanks for your question. Sometimes small skin level separations can occur and usually heal quickly. It is a little more unusual to have a wound 2 months out. Causes can include retained suture that your body is having trouble healing around, it may represent an area of too much tension that has separated or areas of decreased blood supply. Speak to your plastic surgeon as soon as you can. You may require dressing changes or revisional surgery. I hope this helps.
