Belly button closed up after tummy tuck. I am still swollen or the doctor didn't take out enough during liposuction (Photo)

Asked By:Pa2ca in Sherman Oaks, CA

I had a full tummy tuck, lipo to the flanks, abs, tail bone in dec 2016. I look bloated and my belly button is closing up. The dr said he would fix the belly button. There seems to be extra fat that should have been removed and I just look bigger than I should after going thru this kind of procedure. Does this look normal to you? Is this normal for the belly button to close like this? The dr is very nice but I'm disappointed in the outcome of an expensive surgery. What do I do?
