5'7" , 145lbs, age 45 I had the tummy-tuck in September 2021. I am heartbroken that my bellybutton was done so poorly. I will never ever wear a bikini. I hope some surgeons may have suggestions about what- if anything- can be done to fix this. Worth noting: i had one pregnancy in 2007. I experienced no stretch marks from pregnancy at all and in fact i seem to have very elastic skin. I hope my skin elasticity might somehow beca positive thing in terms of finding a solution to make my bellybutton scar much smaller in circumference.
