Belly Button Healed Shallow With No Indention - Can This Be Revised?

ttba2011Apr 23, 2011
I had my tummy tuck 4 months ago. The belly button took a long time to heal. It was open, oozing thik dark smelly puss for a good three weeks. It was about 3 months before it closed up. Now it is shallow, just darker than the rest of my skin. Can this be revised or will I just heal like this again? I am a bit nervous after the healing process the first go around.
