Is there hope for my botched belly button? (Photo)

Monicazzz
I had a tummy tuck with hernia and muscle repair 6 months ago. My belly button, however, is flat, scar is prominent and it is in the shape of an upside down triangle. I was told by my surgeon that nothing can be done the scar can only be revised in a year. I am extremely unhappy about this and can't bare having anyone see my navel. Please advise on if anything can be done? I'm based in johannesburg, any surgeons who specialise in this procedure i could contact?
