Well I guess I'm considered an innie but I hate my belly button. Is it possible to make this a cute, smaller, rounder in innie. My belly button has no definition and it embarrasses me.

I would take the entire central scar as a superioly based c-shaped flap and invaginate in a superior direction to create a hood then use a small skin graft to recreate the "innie" part of the belly button. The graft could be taken from behind the ear or from an old scar.
