I am just curious if anyone else had their surgery through the belly button? My doctor told me that he used a new tool called the Spider to do my surgery (see the link below). I am about 2 months out now and my scar is barely visible.

oh that is WAY cool!

Me! Not only is it barely visible but no oozing, no discomfort, no pain, no nothing. Not that I will ever wear a bikini, so scars don't bother me, but I figured, less holes means less chances of the things I listed above. I was right.

That is awesome! Technology is ever changing.

Wow, I so wanted mine done that way but couldn't find a doctor in my area who could do it. I saw a You Tube video on it. Good for you consider yourself pretty lucky. Probably over the next few years the "spider" method will be the norm for a lot of surgeries.

I had a consult with my surgeon yesterday, and he wanted to "check out my belly button"...I wonder if he uses the spider, and that's why he was "pokin' around" down there...?

Wow that's really interesting. I have 5 of the tiny incisions so I imagine they will be barely visible too once they heal and I can start putting on Mederma.

That is totally amazing. I have 6 incisions sites that are healed.

I did, My scar is about 1 inch long, but it's through my belly button so you can't see it.
