Belly button revision - do I have any other options? (photos)

Question

Hello I'm looking into other opinions about a belly button revision. I I had a tummy tuck revision and then a revision on the belly button to reduce it the size after Tummy tuck. I have gone to my general Doctor and he has advised that this is the most he can do. My body has the habit of rejecting permanent stitchers. This is why I have brown spots on top of my belly button because the stitchers could come out. He gave me options, but I want to hear from other doctor?

There is no doubt that you would benefit from better looking BB. This is very challenging problem and you should seek a real expert, board certified plastic surgeon who has done few of these!!. Find out from your surgeon which suture material you are alergic to, so that you can inform any prospective surgeon about your suture rejection problem. Good luck.

Dear Terrific6480,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
