Why do some belly buttons look fake after TT and others look natural as if there was no surgery done?

Niandraaa
I'm scheduled for a TT this September and am worried I will get one of those belly buttons that look like a dent in your belly versus an actual realistic (but small) hole. Also I notice some belly buttons have a visible "stitch line scar" months after healing while others don't have a single trace that there was work done there. Is this something that is in the control of the plastic surgeon? I wouldn't be satisfied with just a nice flat stomach if the belly button looks unnatural.
