Many doctors on this forum have mentioned small silicone balls that can be used to help belly button edema recede after a tummy tuck. Can anyone provide a company or name? I am currently using a marble and it's not that comfortable. I can't seem to find anything online. I'm two weeks post full tummy tuck with liposuction and otherwise I'm healing well.

Sorry to hear your Embrace was not tolerated. The bunching will go away over the next month or two and is not abnormal. In that area since the tissues are bunched there is less tension on the skin which is favorable for eventual scarring.
Embrace is usually started 3 weeks after surgery,...
Depending on how forceful the coughing was, it is possible to pop a suture. If you should have to cough it important to brace your stomach with a pillow or a blanket. If you did however pop a stitch there's nothing to worry about just follow up with your doctor as soon as possible.
