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?
