Will Distance Change Between Belly Button and Scar? (photo)

Hello, I had revision TT surgery by having the scar lowered. I measured previous to surgery that I had a distance of 2.9 inches from bottom of bb to scar and then 4" from scar to top of genitals. My surgeon seems to have lowered incision by 2" according to markings. However I only have 2" now from bb to scar and 3" from scar to genital area. I am so confused as I thought my scar would be at least 5" from bb. Am I missing something or will the bb and scarline distance increase as swelling goes down?
