Can my belly button be repaired? (Photo)

proudmommyoffour
I had a tummy tuck in september 2021. My belly button became a little raised due to a sensitivity to dissolvable sutures.I decided to do kenalog injections with vascular laser. The scar flattened. However, after 8 laser treatments, the scar is still discolored. I have used scar creams and silicone gel for over a year prior to getting laser. Can my belly button be fixed with scar revision or umbilicalplasty?
