Hello, I was wondering if I will need a revision to correct my belly button after a TT. I’ve been wearing a belly button shaper for months and when I take it out to shower my belly button looks absolutely perfect and natural . The problem is that in about 3-4 hours it completely closes and looks like a slit. I need an honest answer as to whether this will resolve and if not how can it be fixed ?
