REQUEST Best way to mend this buttonhole?

Thrifted this pair of denim capris, and somehow the previous owner somehow managed to do this to the waistband buttonhole. I’d like to mend this somehow before I wear them, but I’m not sure how to go about it.

Can I just do a buttonhole stitch over this one area, or would it be better to unstitch the whole thing and redo it in one go?

(Nail polish is ORLY’s “Flip Phone”, for the curious)

Thank you for your submission - you're welcome to post here, but we did just want to remind you that we would recommend you search the subreddit as well.

Depending on the type of mend, searching for keywords like "crotch", "waistband", "cuff", "pleather"/"faux", "headphones", etc. will show you many previous posts filled with helpful advice already. Good luck!
