I had tummy tuck & breast reduction 8 months ago....

I had tummy tuck & breast reduction 8 months ago. I am happy with the breast reduction, but very concerned about my belly button scar. About a month and a half ago, my PS performed a revision of the "dog ears" at each end of my stomach scar and of the scar around my belly button, which was my major concern. This was performed in the office w/o anesthesia, which was good. I am so disappointed to see that my belly button scar is still around my belly button instead of inside it. I know many others who have had TT and none have scar on their belly button. Pic shows new scar from "revision" that Dr. Heistein performed 1 1/2 months ago, which looks worse than the original scar. Can others weigh in on this? Is there a way to get this scar inside my bb?How should I address with Dr? I have an appointment next week.

Dr. Heistein is a compassionate doctor, but at this point I'm still insure of exactly how to review him. Although I'm happy with my breast reduction, I'm very concerned about the scar "revision" to my belly button which is a telltale sign of a TT. We discussed the tummy scar, but there was never a discussion that my belly button scar might not be inside the belly button cavity. I know several other people who have had TT, and they don't have scars around their belly buttons. I will review again after seeing Dr. Heistein next week to discuss this.Any advice on how to approach this matter would be greatly appreciated.
