Have Scar On Top Of Belly Button. Any Suggestions?
Hi. Yes, please. I have something, not sure what, I think it might be scar tissue or something possibly from a hernia opporation that I had around 8 yrs ago (larposcopic). Except it s on the top of my belly botton, underneith.. it pokes out. You can t see it on the outside lieka scar, but you can feel it because it pokes out, especially after I eat or drink. It might also be from my belly button ring. Not sure, however I want it gone. I m very healthy, workout 4-5 times per week.. Eat healthy, take vitamines.. Not sure what this might be. Any suggestions?

Hi, it appears that you are feeling under the skin may be the internal suture of the internal layers of abdomen during the hernia surgery. If you get it operated again also it may again be formed under the skin because they have to give sutures again. Plastic surgeon may hide it some where during suturing, if you want. Thank you.
