My belly button is healing slowly after Tummy Tuck, should I be concerned? (Photos)

Asked By:ectt97 in Germany, DE

I'm two weeks post op and my belly button kinda makes me worry a little bit. Is this (photo) still okay for it being 2w? I feel like it looks like the suture ripped open again and there's a gap between the parts of the skin that is trying to heal now.. I am abroad and have to fly back home in 6 days. And I'm running out of my antibiotic cream and should keep massaging everything with vaseline instead then. Is there anything dangerous about that? Except for my bb mostly everything seems "closed".
