Asked By:mbase11 in Newark, NJ

I had a tummy tuck liposuction in my stomach breast lift and breast augmentation 10 days ago. I'm having burning in my left upper side and I'm still in significant amount of pain. What's really bothering me is there's a crease below my belly button as seen in the picture that just won't go away. also my belly button is so tiny and then there's a piece of skin hanging over the top is this all normal 10 days post-op? My plastic surgeon says it's swelling and my skin will settle out....
