Hello I had a tummy tuck 5mo ago in Beverly Hills with Dr. Barrett. I am concerned about my belly button. It looks like a slit and very narrow. Family and friends also agree with me. I had a follow-up with my plastic surgeon last week and he disagrees with me. He stated he doesn’t see what I’m talking, it’s not narrow like a slit, and there’s nothing he can do for me. Any recommendations would be much appreciated as my plastic surgeon will not help me. Thank you for your time in advance
