Not usually: A mini tummy tuck does not address the belly button. A traditional tummy tuck would.

Yes it can: With a mini tummy tuck, the belly button is usually not altered. But if you have a deformity, it can be corrected during any other surgical procedure.

Independently: Repairing the belly button is a separate procedure your surgeon may want to do it in combination with your mini tummy tuck.

Yes: Normally a mini tummy tuck does not involve the belly button; however, the belly button can be safelt repaired at the same time.

Definitely: Unsightly belly buttons many times are caused by a small hernia. These can definitely be repaired during your tummy tuck.
