I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. You are still in the recovery stage and can expect changes in the future, but your surgeon should be aware of any healing questions you have. Your belly button can be revised if you are still unhappy around 9-12 months after surgery.
I would recommend reaching out to your surgeon for direction. He/She is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. Your surgeon will let you know if a visit to the ER is indicated.
