Belly button correction - can the position and shape be fixed? (Photo)

Question

I had an Abex by done and my belly button was botched. It’s shaped like a coin slot and sits too high. I know it’s not my normal belly button position because I can no longer wear high waisted pants with my belly button hidden. IIalso feel my phantom belly button about 1.5-2” below where my belly button sits. Also I’ve compared old pictures. I did the abex procedure to remove excessskin after pregnancy weight loss and to get rid of the minipooch I had. Is there a way to correct my belly button position and shape?

Dear Phenomenal71217,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.
