Can't See my Belly Button

This may be from swelling, but with a mini-TT the lower abdominal skin is pulled down and can cause downward traction on the navel, with "hooding" of skin over the top. It is one of the trade-offs. DIscuss with your surgeon what bothers you and your options. Thanks and best wishes.
