Thank you for your picture. Your bellybutton shape looks pretty good. I'm sorry that you're not satisfied. It is unlikely shape will change to a round shape at this point. Earl Stephenson Jr,MD DDS FACS
Each belly button has a different shape and each surgeon has a different technique to create the new belly button. It is possible that the shape may change as you continue to heal.

The erythema or redness of the scar around the belly button is making the size and shape more conspicuous.Be patient, give it time (months), use scar therapies (silicone patches, mederma) and consult your surgeon.If after one year you are still not satisfied, you may be a candidate for a revision of your belly button.
