FDL Belly Button - can this be fixed? (Photo)

JanetmonemDec 13, 2024
I recently had a FDL tummy tuck with lipo, 5 weeks ago, and I've been concerned with how large my belly button looks and the way in which its healing. I understand the skin around it is discolored and will take time to fade, however, the overall size and look seems abnormal. Can this be fixed? I did already talk with my surgeon about it and he wasn't concerned with how it was healing but i'm unhappy with it.
