Major Belly Button Problems After Tummy Tuck. Any suggestions? (photos)

I got a TT 12 weeks ago. My bb has been slow to heal. My PS said that's normal. I got a second opinion and that PS said it wasn't sewn correctly and that caused the belly button to collapse in. Per the 2nd PS, I started using aquacel to stuff inside of it to aid in healing and it healed too fast and started to close up. I then stopped using aquacel and just stuffed it with gauze and it has now closed. Please help with some type of explanation as to why and how in the world this could happen.
