22 days post op from tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast augmentation. I didn't have an outie belly button before (Photo)

I am 22 days post op from my tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast augmentation. The day after my tummy tuck my belly button was an innie, a few days after this ball thing appeared. My doctor says it's normal swelling but I can't imagine it going back in. My next appointment is a couple weeks away and it doesn't hurt and isn't bothering me. Is this normal looking?
