Tummy Tuck Scar Made Too High?

Is my Tummy Tuck scar placed too high if it's 3 inches below new belly button, and 1 inch higher than top of pubic line? Are most tummy tuck scars suppose to be straight, or is it more common to have some sort of curve in the line? Mine is shaped and goes up and down like a small upside down V in the center.
