Asked By:xdoc482 in Birmingham, AL

I am 6 weeks post-op after a tummy tuck and am wondering if my belly button has necrosis. My doctor keeps saying it is not and am wondering if he's just ignoring me. I want him to fix this before it gets worse. Can someone see if there is necrosis going on? Thanks in advance.
