Why and how to fix belly button bulginess after a lipo? (Photo)

After 1 year tummy tuck I decided to get a lipo 360 for a flatter and more defined waist. I am 2 month post op and my bellybutton area is not flat or even with the rest of the stomach. It looks like a donut around my belly button why is this happening? Did the doctor forget to lipo this area?
