Bellybutton rings after abdominoplasty

[Guest guest]

Go for it Vicki. Personally, I don't care how mature and white my scar

becomes, I'm going to stay with the stick on belly button ring with the

flashing light that my dh bought me when we were in South Dakota this

summer. I would love to have one of those jeweled ones, but have enough

problems, not going to intentionally put another hole in my body right

now. Let us know when you do it, then I can live vicariously through

you.

Turning 40 next month and would love to do something out of character

for me so my friend is lending me her size 12 three piece black dress

with bustier and bolero jacket. Hey Bill, maybe I'll send you a picture

of that rather than the one of me in the plaid skirt with knee highs.

Your choice. LOL

Hey, does anyone have any idea as to when this is supposed to happen (to the

belly button)......I HATE this purple thing.....I want to lift my shirt and

show people my new tummy without them going " EW....what's up with the purple

belly button? " ..............thanks, P.

How long ago was your tt? Mine was done in April and my belly button isn't

purple anymore. Hasn't been for at least three months. Just give it time. In the

beginning I used scar guard, but only for about two weeks. Too busy with other

catastrophes to remember to apply it. For the little time I used it, it may have

helped things along.

Well, this in encouraging.....I am about 5 months out. I was getting

depressed at the thought of a purple belly button for life!! The purple was

actually so bad cause it accentuated the " white " of the skin inside it and

made it look like I had a big white worm inside.......seriously grossed

EVERYONE out......myself included! Thanks for the info Regina........

My extended abdominoplasty was five months ago today, and the area around my

belly button was the first to go silver, just in the last few days, and it looks

great. That said, I don't that I'd have it pierced or anything else for a few

months yet; my massage therapist is still working on releasing all the adhesions

when I see her every two weeks and I want the majority of the scar to be silver

before I even think about it. I'm probably not going to pierce it, but my

boyfriend is a professional artist and he's been drawing on me with Sharpies for

months, designing my eventual scar-line tattoo. This is a pleasant pastime. ;-)

My brachioplasty scar has gone totally silver in my armpit but is still fairly

angry-red out towards my elbow on each side, thereby proving my plastic surgeon

right when he says that scars heal best and disappear fastest with continuous

pressure. I'm actually wearing my brachioplasty pressure garment again,

especially overnight, but as much as I can, in hopes of speeding things along a

bit.

Hmmm, neato. I have a fantasy of having a small but beautiful tatoo

of Phoenix rising from the ashes. If I had your boyfriend....
