More disappointment

Here's a clearer picture of my uneven belly button. I would expect this from an amateur not an expert surgeon

Final thoughts
Mhelmy27July 22, 2016
I went back 6 months later for more arm and back liposuction. I also had more liposuction in my abdomen. I wasn't totally satisfied with my tummy tuck for a few reasons. I didn't feel like the doctor really used precision and treated it like an art. My belly button is not in the middle of my stomach it's too the right and noticeable. It also scared badly. I thought after this surgery I would be proud to show off my belly and wear a two piece but it's so noticeable and my belly button isn't centered which is embarrassing to explain. Secondly I ended up in the hospital after my liposuction the second time around and it felt like the staff didn't care. I called the doctor a few times and he only followed up once when I was at the hospital. No one went out of their way to make sure I was feeling better and there wasn't anything I needed. To be honest I'm so disappointed with my belly button and the first time I asked about it I was told it would be centered after I completely heal which could take a year.....but it hasn't. I'm extremely upset about it and probably won't go back. I have been researching other doctors to see if I can get it fixed and pray it doesn't require a whole new tummy tuck. I may be flatter but that's all I've achieved.

So sorry you feel that way. I don't think it looks wrong... I don't think you should stop wearing a bikini, nobody would notice... I looked hard and I don't think it looks off center.

Have you tried a bikini? I think the incision is a bit crocked and that may make the belley button seem off center???

It is off center. Both my husband and I noticed it and I got asked a few times at the pool....but thank you for your support

I had surgery by DR Castor March of this year. I'm only four months out and have a ways to go still. I admire you for sharing your story and photos.

I hope your surgery was given time and effort and that you are happy with your results

Thanks for sharing. I am gathering questions and reading experiences in an effort to get myself ready for a TT also. What advice would you give to someone who is about to embark on the same journey?

Make sure you have plenty of recovery time and for me it wasn't as bad as everyone made it seem.....you will be okay! Good luck
