Ive noticed this whole like indent above my belly button. It almost makes it looks like a second belly button. Im only 20hrs or so post op. Will this indent go away? And what is it from?

You may have some fascial laxity in this area that can cause a bulge. Revision of the rectus fascial plication can correct this but it would be a trip back to the OR.
Hello and thank you for your question and photos.
Based on your images, it seems that you may have some fluid/seroma accumulation in the lower abdomen. The only way to truly determine if this is the case is through a physical exam. Other imaging modalities can also be employed to include...
As you mentioned that the drainage is increasing daily, I encourage you to visit with your surgeon for an evaluation. Your surgeon will rule out seroma formation or other concerns. Typically these concerns can be addressed in the office.
