Umbilical hernia and Diastasis repair, mesh or no mesh?

dstaplet
I have some ab muscle separation and umbilical hernia. I thought about a tt but the time and risk associated seems like overkill. I started looking at hernia repair and all general surgeons I spoke with use mesh. With all the stories around mesh and difficulties finding a general willing to do another method I am wondering if a plastic surgeon would do an umbilical hernia repair and “remake” my belly button with out mesh. Is that just as risky as tt or mesh?
