No belly button after tummy tuck. Help. What do I do? (Photo)

krnunez
The swelling after my TT & lipo made it appear like I had a belly button, but I do not. Did he forget? I have a lump beside my “fake belly button”. Could that be my old belly button? When my PS took off my binder on day 1 he asked if I liked my belly button and has asked every time. There is a scab, but there were no stitches. Help, what do I do? The lump is slightly painful, do I need the PS to cut my skin and allow the belly button to come through? He told me I would have my old belly button.
