Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your umbilical hernia and wants surgery in a way that the umbilicus looks normal.
I would suggest your the following:
Consult a General Surgeon at the hernia center, which takes care of only hernia cases so that the most experienced Surgeons can handle your case.
There are 3 options.
1) One is an open herniorrhaphy wherein the natural umbilicus can be very well restored.
2 Laparoscopic mesh repair.
3) combination of the two as mentioned above.
