Belly Button Concerns After Ext Tummy Tuck + MR August 2023– Advice please. Everything looked great on days 1 and 2 post-op However, on the evening of day 2, I began vomiting profusely due to my medication. By day 3, during my dressing change, I noticed that my belly button appeared flat and never regained its original “inward” shape. I suspect the stalk may have detached during the hours of vomiting. My bbutton makes me feel self-conscious. When I tense my muscles, it sinks slightly, but when I relax, it is flat. I would really appreciate advice from surgeons. Would you recommend a revision?
