Why is my tummy still big after my tummy tuck? (photo)

Diligent980478
I am 5’5”, 126lbs. My weight hasn’t changed since my procedure. I think that my procedure didn’t work for some reason. I had a small bump before the surgery and I still have a bump, it’s just lower. I am so disappointed because now I also have scars! Also, I hate my belly button! It’s discolored, bumpy and looks unnatural. It had been 6 months since my procedure. What do you think went wrong? What can I do to get a flat tummy?
