Can an Umbilicoplasty Make my Bellybutton Smoother, Deeper, and More Natural Looking? (photo)

5 months ago I had an abdominoplasty with an umbilical float (full repair of diastasis from pubic bone to sternum). I look much better in clothes and I am very happy about that, however I am dissatisfied with my bellybutton. There is an indentation above my bellybutton that looks quite odd (especially in harsh light, such as in sunshine while wearing a bikini). My bellybutton appears flat and doesn't pull inward. Can these issues be improved upon and, if so, how? Thank you!
