Will my belly button appearance improve? I'm 3 months post tummy tuck and feel it looks unnatural. (Photo)

sophia2003
I love my overall result, but feel like the belly button looks unnatural. The circle scar seems very clear. Also, the skin is very tight and doesn't "hood" at the top. My doctor says the scar will lighten. What I'm wondering is whether my belly button will look natural when the healing is done (9 months from now). Based on what you see, do you think it will still be obvious then that I had the TT from looking at my belly button? Will the scar fade enough? And/or, will the skin loosen a bit?
