Why does my belly button look deformed? (Photo)

Thank you for question. You are still relatively early in the recovery process. There appears to be a combination of loose skin and some residual swelling. This is common following abdominal liposuction and will continue to improve over the next several months. Please have close follow up with your surgeon and follow all of your post-operative instructions including use of compression garments. Hope this helps. 

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Preoperative photographs would be useful to determine the change in appearance of your belly button, but I can see your area of concern.  In your photograph you appear to be laying down and though not apparent, your stretch marks indicate that you may now have excess, sagging skin after your liposuction.  The only way to correct this is through a skin excision type of procedure, such as a tummy tuck.  Voice your concerns to your surgeon.  

I suggest seeking a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in lasers and RF devices to optimize your results.  Often the belly button changes after liposution and this may be permanent but can be improved with skin tightening and RF heating devices.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Liposuction surgery has risks for prolonged swelling and induration (scar tissue) that can form in treated areas. Minor contour irregularities are common as it is not any sort of skin tightening or smoothing procedure. Patients usually need to wait at least 6 months in order to assess results. Be patient, it may get better with time.

It looks as though there is an excess of skin in the wake of the liposuction. Stretch marks reveal that the skin has very little contractility in the first place. You may want to consider an abdominoplasty as a potential solution.

I am sorry that you are having issues about your procedure and
thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your
concern.

Without having your prior pictures it's difficult to guess what the shape should be at this time. It seems to me that you have laxity to your skin, which is a common finding when doing regular liposuction to the area. swelling is another complicating element that is precluding the end result. 

Finally, make sure that your doctor is
aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.

Wishing you the best in your journey

You may have a problem, but the photo doesn't show it. The most common cause for dissatisfaction with abdominal lipo is that it leaves behind looseness. And looseness around the belly button drapes and gives the belly button a sad frown appearance. If your surgeon was a board certified plastic surgeon who operated on you at a certified facility and has done a ton of lipo suction and fat transfer, you are in good hands. If not see one and ask her, or him, what needs to be done, if any. Good luck.

No.  Id doesn't appear as though anything was done wrong by your doctor.   It appears as though you just have loose skin.   When you have stretch marks and loose skin prior to liposuction of the abdomen, you will have worsening of that loose skin after the liposuction.   The correction would be to do a Tummy Tuck!  DiscoverTheBeauty.com

An in person consultation would be necessary to say for sure. The skin appears to be loose. The umbilicus or belly button is a scar left over from the umbilical cord and is relatively fixed to the deeper abdominal muscular wall. As the abdominal skin is loose, it settles around the belly button. Discuss this with your surgeon. I believe there will be solutions available to improve the situation. 

It's hard to tell what's going on from your photo. Do you have a before photo? Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
