Can an umbilicoplasty fix this incision scar? (photo)

notideal
A few days ago, I had a total lap hysterectomy with an umbilical removal. I was very surprised/disappointed when I realized my normal, textbook "innie" now looks like this. My first question to a plastic surgeon is, is this presentation considered botched work? Secondly, can an umbilicoplasty restore what I now have back to something totally normal looking? How soon can I get that procedure post-op? Thank you.
