What went wrong with my tummy tuck? (Photo)

A2615
I got a tummy tuck 8 weeks ago and I am very unhappy with my results. About 3 weeks ago one side of my stomach started looking different then the other. It's hard to describe it so I posted pics. I followed up with the surgeon and he said he's never seen this happen before in the stomach area. He told me to wait for the area to "loosen up" and he can do a revision. I also have dark spots above my belly button and I am not sure what it's coming from. I would like to know why this is happening?
