Hernia repair and loose skin?

suzannax91
I had a hernia repair done about 6 weeks ago. The surgeon just basically sewed my belly button together. I have a lot of loose skin at the top and around my belly button. I also a scar from my previous belly ring. I'm just wondering what my options are. Would an umbilicoplasty fix this? I have no loose skin at the bottom of my stomach so I'm not sure if a tummy tuck is necessary. I just want a new belly button if possible. (First pic is me laying down and the second is standing up)
