Should I be concerned about my belly button looking like this or is it just swelling that will work it's self out? Should I do anything to help or fix it?

The photo you have posted is not clear enough to provide an accurate answer. It is best to repost with the before and after photos, and when you had your surgery.

Dallas Buchanan, MD · Answer

I would need some more information before being able to offer you any advice. The picture is quite small and from it, it is not easy to ascertain what you mean by "weird looking." Also, what kind if liposuction did you have and when was it? What areas were treated?With liposuction, results and post-op changes are very time and technique dependent and for anyone to give you a professional opinion, you need to provide some more specific information.As always, your best bet is to return to the plastic surgeon who performed your procedure and discuss your concerns with him or her.

When did you have the procedure done? We also would need to see your before pictures to compare. Please let us know if you can download these.

Swelling takes time to resolve after liposuction of the abdominal wall.Your photo and info tells us very little.Good luck.
