What can be done if my belly button is not centered after full tummy tuck?

Asked By:terrisaj

I am 15 days post op from full TT with MR, I know that I am still very swollen, however it seems that my belly button is about 1/4 inch to the left. I held a piece of yarn and stretched it from the split of my breast to the split of my pubic area and it is definitely not in the middle. It is not horrible, and probably not very noticeable to anyone without really looking at it. But it still bothers me.
