More Pronounced Stretch Marks Around Belly Button After a Mini Tummy Tuck and Hernia Repair

To minimize the appearance of loose skin and stretch marks after two pregnancies.

I am only one week post surgery, but I can already see that the results will not meet my expectations.

I had a mini tummy tuck, with lipo and muscle tightening, plus a hernia repair. I decided not to go with the full TT because I didn't want the big scar and I was in a relatively good shape and at my ideal weight. Plus even though my doctor did recommend a full TT, he didn't discourage me from doing the mini one.

I am very unhappy as I still have stretch marks around my belly button, plus now they are even more pronounced as I have less fat. Plus he pulled some skin through my naval resulting in more wrinkles around my navel. So basically my post surgery results are a tighter lower abdomen, but more pronounced stretch marks around my naval and a wrinkly small belly button (very unattractive).

I have already asked this question a few days ago, but now I am adding a few pictures for a better evaluation. It's been 10 days since my tummy tuck and hernia repair and the stretch marks around my belly button are even more pronounced than before the procedure. I decided not to go with the full tummy tuck because I didn't want the big scar. But now I think I made a mistake. Is a full tummy tuck even an option for me now? Is there any other procedure or treatment that can improve the appearance of my belly button and the skin around it? Will the appearance improve on its on after a while? Thanks a lot for your help.
