Is my Belly Button Too Low?

I am 30 days post op. I did not have a new belly button created, simply pulled down. It was a standard tt with lipo of the stomach, flanks and pubic mound. Muscles were repaired. It still hurts when I sneeze and cough but other than that I feel well I just dont like my belly button so low. I am still wearing a binder. My drains were removed the day after surgery and I still have swelling mostly after sitting and driving. Is this all normal?
