Tags: belly button, numb

I am almost 6 weeks post op for a full tummy tuck w/ liposuction. The area around the belly button is still numb and feels very hard. I am beltching quite a bit and can't tolerate my constriction garment being off. Will the muscle around the belly button loosen a litte a be more comfortable. I am also numb on the left side and below the belly button. The right side is waking up except for one inch from the belly button. What should I expect.

Revision of high scar in tummy tuck
