How low will stretch marks above my belly button be pulled (will I still have some near new belly button)?

Tt8678
I have had 2 kids and I'm at my ideal weight. Workout 6 days a week for the last 4 years. I know everything below the belly button is removed but what will happen to the ones above? Would they move low enough to be hidden in a moderate courage swim bottom or even mostly hidden down there(not up near my new belly button)? I just don't want to do it if I'm still going to have stretchmarks all around my new belly button. Thanks!
