Mini Tummy Tuck with Umbilicoplasty

Yes, from  your photos, it appears you would be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck and the umbilicoplasty could be performed at the same time.

Mini-tummy tuck with belly button contouring

It appears as though you're an exellent candidate for a mini-tummy tuck with contouring of your umbilicus.  Your muscles won't need to be tightened with this procedure.
