Is having an indentation where old bellybutton was normal? (Photo)

joof13
I first had my TT and DR repair in August 2020. It was mostly successful - skin was removed and I kept my old bellybutton. However, I ended up with a revision in February 2021 to improve the results. This time, my surgeon was able to remove more skin, and I ended up with a new bellybutton. Unfortunately, my skin wasn’t elastic enough to stretch and fully remove the old bellybutton, so he just closed it up. Now it’s indented and I’m wondering - is this normal? Can anything be done to improve it?
