I'm 2 years post op tummy tuck surgery. Last year I had belly button revision surgery because my belly button closed. 4 months later my belly button closed again. Had another revision surgery but this time my surgeon completely closed my belly button. Now he wants me to come in every 3 months for cortisone shots where my belly button use to be.
