Is this skin necrosis?

Asked By:MommyMakeover619 in San Diego, CA

I had a tummy tuck on February 9th. As soon as I got out of surgery my skin started turning black right around my belly button all the way down to my incision line. Doc says he is not worried about it at all anymore and that everything looks better. I feel like as the days go by the lower part of the wound keeps getting deeper and deeper. I need a second opinion please!
