Is Muscle Repair Included in Mini Tummy Tucks?

sj-l
If I would like a mini tummy tuck, will my muscles get repaired also? I hear it's usually below the naval only. I have checked to see how far apart they are, and from what I can feel, they are pretty close together along the top of my stomach, and close together beneath the belly button, but they seem to be 2 1/2 finger gaps apart just under the belly button area. Would this get sorted? I also have a small hernia (which getting corrected seperatly on the NHS).
