I'm 8 weeks post op with my tummy tuck. How much of my abdominal area is still swollen? (Photo)

Dre2015
I'm trying to be patient and trust my surgeon and staff throughout the healing process. However, I would like another trained professionals opinion. I feel as if my belly button is still very large, and my abdominal muscles from my mid point down are not as tight as they could be. How much if any of my abdominal area is still swollen?I not sure if this is the normal appearance 8 weeks after, or if I should really have a serious conversation with my surgeon about possible revisions.
