Yes, it's common: Yes it's common to have bruising around the belly button after umbilical hernia repair surgery. If the skin of the belly button looks unhealthy or solid blue, purple, or black, then the surgeon should take a look promptly to make sure that the blood supply to the skin of the belly button hasn't been affected.
