Can something be done to minimize the width of my belly button? 3 months post tummy tuck (photos)

Question

I had a tummy tuck 3 mths ago. I healed well but concerned with my belly button. It's shallow but my main concern is how wide it is. My surgeon doesn't believe anything can be done to fix it. Do any doctors out there believe this could be revised somehow? Thank you

It would be too soon to do anything in this regard before at least one year after surgery. In that time, when result is stable and tissues around BB settled, one can consider correction of current BB to achieve more depth, definition. Not an erasy task! In the meantime you may consider in person or telemedicine consultation with couple of board certified plastic surgeons. Good luck.

Dear Couldbeworthrisks,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
