Big regret - left with a bulge above my belly button

I’ve always wanted a TT to feel confident and boost my self esteem. I finally had my procedure on April 2019. After being home a few days, I noticed a buldge above my belly button. I went in for my follow up and asked about it, I was told I was just “swollen”. I expressed my concerns to both the nurse(s) and Dr Lawton at each follow up but was continuously told it would “take time for it to go away”. January 2021, I made an appointment to see Dr Lawton to specifically express my concerns at which time I was referred to a specialist to see if maybe I had a hernia (which I knew I didn't). The specialist sent me for Xrays (which i got charged my deductible). Once i got the results I picked them up and took to Dr Lawton. I had no hernia. Dr Lawton then scheduled me for a surgery revision on March of 2021. Once again, after a couple days, I noticed the same buldge but in a different spot. And again, I was told it would go away.

In Oct 2021 I went on a trip with friends and was wearing a bathing suit, my friend (concerned) asked if I was ok as she noticed the bulge, her immediate reaction was ask if I had a hernia. I was so embarrassed due my personal insecurities and felt I was back at square one. Upon my return, I scheduled an appt with Lawton and I was told "You look fine,  you’re flat, you’ll be tender for years". My trust was shattered and I felt defeated. Still paying what I owed, I walked out in tears. My insecurities continue, I continue to wear loose clothing, and im constantly self conscious of my appearance. I finally scheduled myself an appt with another Dr to get help get this fixed, and hopefully putting this botched nightmare behind me.
