Umbilical stalk left is very narrow leading to a small umbilical opening. One option would be to tether the umbilical stalk down to the muscle fascia in order to make the umbilicus less protruding. Another option is to make a radial incision to widen the umbilicus.
For a revised belly button scar, or most scar revisions in general, I often will encourage patients to wait 6-12 months before judging it. Scars often take over a year to fully mature. As your body refines the scar tissue collagen, scar often soften. The small capllaries that initially permit healing usually shrink and look less inflamed and red. If the scar is very pink, I may send the patient to a Derm for laser at around 2 - 3 months. If the patient forms keloids - that can be much more difficult to treat.
