Should I be worried that the center of my abs don't line up with my belly button? (photo)

Sd1210
Hello. I'm 3 weeks, 5 days post op from a mommy makeover. Today was the 1st day that my swelling has lessened. I can see where my abs come together. I'm really worried about the indentation line between the center of my abs. My belly button doesn't fall on the line. I'm 5'3" 119 lbs with very thin skin and not much fat on my stomach area. I'm really worried that the indention is not going to line up with my belly button. Should I be worried?
