On 3rd belly button revision- is it worth going to a new dr? (photos)

Question

I am 34, I had a tummy tuck in 2017 and was not pleased with my belly button so I went back to the same dr and had a revision in 2018, then again in 2020 and now I just had another one in 2022. Each time it has the aame outcome and scar has actually got worse. Is there hope a different PS could get better results, or is it just how my body heals?

Dear megan312066,
finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Make sure he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. There is a number of different sites where you can check for reviews (Realself, yelp, google, etc.).You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations.
