How Do I Fix a Bad Belly Button Scar After Tummy Tuck?

mrskalhoun
i had a tt on 3-13-10 my belly button looks horrible it hurts really bad and i can see every stitch he used to close it on the outside surrounding it. on top of that it is hypertrophic scarring really bad im mortified by the way it looks. i went back to my ps he said i need steroid injections & if fails need revision but i have to pay for all that. i dont think i should have to pay for them when he put the stitches on the outside. i dont think injections will fix this either. what should i do?
