Why is my belly button mis-shapen after tummy tuck? 10 years post-op (Photo)

Asked By:ai62 in Grass Valley, California

I had a tummy tuck about 10 years ago and I have always hated my belly button afterwards. I used to have an adorable belly button. Even though I had three children many years ago I still had an okay stomach, no stretch marks and a nice belly button. My doctor said I had a hernia and I wanted a tummy tuck anyway as I have big ribs and small hips and wanted a little contouring. When I healed I was missing most of my belly button. It's kind of triangular. It is not attractive at all!
