Should I request a belly button revision? I'm 3 months post-op with 360 lift. (Photos)

I am thrilled with my surgeons work, except my bb. I wish she had concealed the incision inside rather than placing it so conspicuously around it, and the native "stalk" I feel has too much tissue, which causes it to look poofy inside. Should i request a revision? Is it even possible to improve it? Is there a certain technique I should discuss with her? I know with time the scar will fade but I'm not sure what to ask for or what is best.

From the picture it looks like you have an umbilical hernia.  This can be repaired in a few different ways and is very straight forward.  I recommend that you see a surgeon in your area in person for proper evaluation.
