Bruising around belly button from bandaid surgery?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Normal: I assume that you are describing a laparoscopic surgery. It would be normal early after surgery to have some swelling and bruising around a laparoscopic incision site. Some people bruise a little more than others. Ask your surgeon if you are concerned.
