Belly button still looks swollen after 10 months post-op, please help! Do I need a revision? (Photo)

jbabay12
Hello, all! I received a tummy tuck in Washington state after losing a good amount of weight. My PS said he was going to use my belly button, and the plan was to just shorten the belly button stalk. I had no issue with this, as I had seen many belly buttons he had perfected before, and they ALL look great! Mine was extremely swollen at first, and he told me to put a marble in it to push the fluid out. He refuses to accept that mine isn't right. Do I need a revision? Please, please help me.
