Okay, I want to know if it's possible to give me a mini tummy tuck w/ umbilicoplasty without touching my muscles??? I have one or two stretch marks nothing major and my c section scar doesn't look bad at all. I work-out 5 days a week and am very fit. I am looking to have the little bit of extra skin removed in the lower abdomen and if possible my belly button moved to fix the indent above it? I don't mind if the incision is larger than my c-section.

Conventional wisdom is to either pull just from the belly button down for a mini tummy tuck. OR pull the entire abdomen down, make it really tight and create a new belly button - full tummy tuck. But there is a hybrid surgery where we float the belly button down to a lower spot...
Very possibly. The weight gain is better than smoking however. Talk with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and they will let you know if the surgery is jeopardized due to the weight gain.
You can get pregnant after a mini tummy tuck, just know that you may end up permanently stretching the tightened tissue out especially if you get real large or have twins. We do not recommend pregnancy after tummy tucks for this reason. This is why most people wait until after they are finished...
