What to do with remaining belly button tissue on tummy tuck scar? (photo)

I’m 18 months post op on a tummy tuck with T incision. The T is what I believe is my old belly button. This tissue is more inflammatory and responds differently to treatments than the surrounding skin and scar. An aesthetician recommended diluted kenalog injections with a conservative approach. Also recommended CO2 laser. I’m wondering if excising the vertical strip of the T incision wouldn’t ultimately be best for healing. appreciate any and all input!
