Did my doctor botch my belly button? Can anything be done to fix this issue?

Asked By:123makemefeellikeme in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I had a tummy tuck done in December 2020. The original belly button was not great, he did a revision in May and I am even more upset with the new result. It is huge, still pokes out. Can anything be done to fix this issue? It is unsightly to be honest.
