Will Tummy Tuck Remove Scar Near Belly Button?

MommyTo2IsHopeing
I have a horizontal 5-6" scar across my stomach about a 1/2"-1" above my belly button, from 2 pregnancies with c-sections. Would a Tummy Tuck be possible with this? Will the scar be removed, or at least be reduced to one scar (placement of new tummy tuck scar is not an issue)?
