  Nichole,
  I had a bad experience with my tummy tuck too. I got bad thrush infection in my throat. Of course I was couphing so bad I popped a bunch of stitches. I ended up with a real high scar(over my panty line) and it was tight and thick. It looked like I had 2 waist lines. My belly button was so tiny I couldn't fit a q-tip to clean it out. After 3 years of dealing with little infections it just started getting worse. There was pus and my belly button began to grow a skin over it. I had to tear that skin off every day to let the pus out. I went to see 3 different surgeons and no one wanted to touch me. I HAD TO go back to the original Dr. And he wanted to do the tummy tuck all over again and make a new belly button hole. I finally went to see Dr. Linda Li in Beverly Hills ( after days of my friend begging me to see her Dr. ), and am I glad I did. She works with a lot of burn victims and does a lot of reconstruction surgeries. I had her revise my tummy tuck 4 weeks ago. There was a 100% improvement within the minute I got out of surgery. She didn't redo the tummy tuck. She said that if she did I would end up with a higher scar. So she just opened up mybelly button and removed the old scar and brought the incision down. I have a belly button again! And the scar is thin and bellow my panty line. She's really good, warm, gentle, and loving. She had a reality show called "Dr. 90210" and amazingly she was more affordable than anyone else I went to before. Good luck, I'm so sorry you have gone through all of this. I hope you find the right Dr. If not come see her.
