Belly button shrinking after tummy tuck. The same thing happened after revision. Why is this happening? What should I do now?

Asked By:Sue77 in Iowa City, IA

I had a TT Apr 2013 and my belly button shrunk so small I couldn't even fit a q-tip in it. My surgeon did a revision Apr 2014 and it is the same thing. I'm so frustrated. Does he not know what he's doing? Why does my bb keep shrinking so small? What should I do now?
