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

A beautiful belly button is an innie with some hooding on the top and indrawing at the bottom.  The scars should be pulled in to make sure that they are as little visible as possible.  Not all surgeons focus on making a nice belly button.  So long as you thought your surgeon did a nice belly button based on consultation photos then you should be fine.  It is true that the umbilicus can swell early on.  In my patients I use a dressing the helps push the belly button in while it heals.  Speak to your surgeon to make sure they are comfortable with this.  Swelling can take several weeks or even months to resolve.

Thank you very much for your question.You are still early out from surgery, so your belly button appearance may improve with time.  I would continue to follow closely with your plastic surgeon and follow their instructions.It is possible that this is a small belly button hernia that you are now noticing since you had the abdominoplasty.  This is something that can be diagnosed by your surgeon.

Hello, Thank you very much for your question. It is difficult to say as there may still be swelling. It'd be best to speak with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for their suggestions. All the best.
