Bulge Left After Umbilical Hernia Repair- What Can I Do?
I had two umbilical hernias removed and it obviously left a scar, but it also left my belly button deformed...AND the doctor who performed the surgery left fatty tissue balled up on the right side of my belly button. I am a thin woman and I can no longer wear form fitting shirts due to the fact that it appears I have a mass growing on my stomach! I asked him about it, and he pretty much said its not his issue. What I can I do about this? Also, was it legal for him to leave my belly literally DEFOREMED??

An ugly navel can usually be corrected.
Not sure why things turned out the way they did for you with your umbilical hernia repair. Usually these can be corrected leaving a very natural appearing umbilicus. I would consult a platic surgeon who can probably make it look much better.
