Is it normal for my belly button to still bleed 9 days post tummy tuck?

Labella93
This is a 2 in one question. I didnt know how to ask it at once. My belly button has been bleeding everyday since my tummy tuck. 1 week post op I brought this concern to my doctor and he said it's fine. I didn't think much of it but today after removing my binder, there was blood ofcourse and also the belly button seems to be separating from the skin. And the spacing is obvious. And after cleaning it there seems to be a little discoloration. Is all of this normal 9 days post op?
