Can hernia post-surgery "dent" and belly button be repaired? (Photo)

April 13, 2019
Asked By:Witty3585 in Raleigh-Durham, NC

I had hernia surgery (January 2019) as a result of a c-section (gave birth to twins in September 2018). My belly button was put back in but feels it was tucked in the wrong place. I also have a "dent" above the belly button. My concern is if I went to a surgeon can my belly button be repaired and also if the "dent" can be massaged out or fixed in anyway? I'm uncertain as to what the name of such a procedure would be called.
