I had a TT just over a year ago and a scar revision a few months ago. The scar is ok, although higher than I was promised but I can live with that. The overall results are pleasing. However, I hate my belly button and it seems way too high. I just can’t get over it. It feels, sensitivity wise, that it should be a good inch lower although my surgeon claims it’s in the same place it just doesn’t seem right even after he ‘revised’ it, it looks no different. Is there any way to move it down?
