Belly button revision options? (Photo)

Question

Is there any chance of fixing this bellybutton? It has had a few revisions and is scarred and quite flat. It’s ok when I stand straight ot sit but if I lie down or stretch in any way it’s just a flat awful scar. Can a deeper and more natural bellybutton be achieved. I think my actual bellybutton is gone now after a few attempts at it.

Dear Buffy10,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your belly button could be made smaller, but cannot be made deeper since your original belly button closed soon after birth.
