Panniculectomy and Belly Button? (photo)

Hello, Im going for a consult for my insurance to cover a Panniculectomy due to 2 csections and over 100lb weightloss over past several years. My concern is healing time. I dont want to do the full tummy tuck due to the extended length of healing time with abdominal walls sutured. However I want a belly button! It almost scares me to seem my body without one lol!! Will a dr do it through insurance and the patient pay out of pocket for the belly button? If so how much of an add on will that be?
