For those that have had TT and LBL... How deep is your "new" belly button?

I had TT and my BB is not deep... it looks cute except that it is very dark (I am only 8-weeks post op).

Did you do anything to yours to make it look like that? Scar therapy or the marble or anything else?

Mine is still a bit swollen (only had my surgery on June) but it is about 1/2 inch deep right now. I have a scar that is still pretty red around the rim of course, but besides that is looks pretty normal.

Mine was deep before, and still is-but not as much. I can get 1/2 of my pinkie in there!

This is like mine. I was showering the other night, and now that it is fully healed up, went to clean my belly button out good, and my pinkie just kept going and going! I thought I was gonna poke through to my intestines! I got about half my pinkie in there too, and never felt the end, but my belly button is rather small around, so I ran out of real estate to test to the full depth. Maybe Ill try a q-tip or something. Its DEEP! It wasnt before surgery. And to be honest, Im concerned about keeping it clean being so narrow and deep :-/
