Is my belly button closing up? I had an FDL TT 1 week ago. (photo)

Asked By:crossfit43204 in Columbus, OH

The dr said to leave the medicated gauze in it for the first 48 hours and then to wash it every day and put nothing else in it. I’ve done just that but I’m really worried that it’s closing up. It seemed much bigger 2 days after surgery. What should I do? I really don’t want to be without a bellybutton!
