A member asked:
My pre-laparoscopy belly button was a normal "innie". post-op bellybutton looks like the skin has been pulled across from one side to the other and glued/stitched. will it go back to normal? wasn't told in the hospital if i had stitches?

The navel may take up to 6 weeks to fully heal. Raise your concern at your postop checkup visit.
