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!

From your photo, it appears that you would be a good candidate for aumbilicoplasty surgery. This will improve your belly button, but it seems that the stretch marks you have will likely partially remain since they are so extensive.
You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area ...
I think you have way too much skin excess for an umbilicoplasty to be successful. When I have looked at pre and post op photos on websites, by in large the only ones that look better are the patients who had umbilical hernias bulging out the navel and those with bad scars from navel rings...
