Answer: Umbilicoplasty may be another option.
After an umbilical float abdominoplasty, the belly button only get its blood supply from the surrounding skin, not from underneath as after a standard abdonimoplasty. Therefore, moving the belly button up could very well could cause umbilical necrosis. One alternative could be excising the current belly button and reconstructing a new at a more desireable level. Discuss this with your surgeon. lhc

Answer: Low Belly Button After TT
The belly button can be moved up , but it will require a small vertical scar.It could also be re positioned higher ,but the original belly button will result in a scar
You do have a lot of extra skin so your best bet would be to re- do the tummy tuck
