Asked By:bethy101 in Oklahoma City, OK

Hello, I had a tummy tuck 1 year ago and I am still having protrusion/swelling around my belly button.... Should i still be swelling or could it be maybe a suture came undone? Also the skin surrounding my belly button is very tender and for some reason I bruise often to the right and left of my belly button.
