Scar below belly button
If the scar is an immature, raised, red or pink scar. Laser/light treatments (with the pulsed-dye laser or IPL can be beneficial. If the scar is a mature, white scar (generally older than 1 year), you may want to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss surgical scar revision.
Good luck.
