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.

I know with time the scar will fade but I'm not sure what to ask for or what is best.

This can be a fairly common occurrence. The remaining tissue if healthy can heal in and still look like a navel. Sometimes a thicker sir may form and sometimes the hole closes shut which can be difficult to manage. Discuss this with your surgeon.
Dear Just.Jo,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
