I had lipo on my upper/lower abs 6 mo ago. I developed a "donut" around my belly button from it. My surgeon mentioned putting 2 incisions around my belly button pre-surgery but ended up not doing so. The "donut" is not just skin, it's pretty fatty and firm. When I poke my finger into my belly button, I can feel scar tissue. How do I get this flattened/corrected WITHOUT a tummy tuck? What qualifications and methods should I look for when consulting w/ a surgeon?
