Answer: Belly button I would give things several more months to settle out before you worry too much. Things can change a great deal during the first year and the umbilicus may round out enough to put you at ease. There are minor changes that can be made to the umbilicus under local anesthesia if necessary later on.

Answer: Belly button is too low It looks like they lifted the skin of the abdomen and left the belly button attached to the abdominal skin flap and then pulled the whole skin down and removed a long strip of skin. This will always lower the belly button. Usually it only lowers the belly button about a centimeter or so but yours looks like its 5 cm lower. The belly button should be at the height of the top of the iliac crest in most individuals. This will be very difficult to correct if not impossible.
