I am looking for opinions on my belly button & if it can be repaired? (Photos)

A
Affectionate232664Dec 5, 2022

I had a tummy tuck 1 year ago. I was unhappy with the outcome of the belly button and my surgeon performed a revision. I don't see much if any improvement. My surgeon insists this is a desired outcome. I have researched this and believe other surgeons are saying this is NOT a desired result. The belly button should not be round and the scar should not be OUTSIDE the belly button. I am looking for opinions. Additionally, I want to have this fixed. Can it be repaired?

Regardless how good umbilical hernia is repaired by general surgeon, it does no garantee nice, desired shape of BB. In your case, it may be best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon regarding optimisation of BB result. Good luck.
