Can you help as I am unhappy with belly button after single incision laparoscopic surgery? (Photos)

July 30, 2021
Asked By:Optimistic8690 in Millersville, Maryland

30, afab, Agender. I had a single incision laparoscopic surgery to remove an ovarian tumor 19 days ago. I know it’s still early but I’m really unhappy with how my belly button looks now. Not only did the incision make it misshapen, I can’t understand why my surgeon didn’t cut along the natural contour to hide the scar better. Will it go back to how it was or can it be fixed to it’s previous shape? Before and After pics:
