I have had a mini tummy tuck 2 months ago, my muscles were supp to be tightened all the way as infmd before surgery but my upper ab muscles were not, they are still lax especially when sitting or bending down. my ps attempted to but as my skin was too thin from previous vaser lipo with another surgeon, my ps didn't manage Tighten them. Am now considering an umbilicoplasty to correct my belly button and hopefully repair the upper ab muscles as well. Thanks in advance for any advise.

If you are very thin, then you can not really have a very deep belly button. Still, I do notice that yours has no hooding. This could be corrected, but based on the limited photo, I can not tell if it would necessarily look better.
I think that a minitummy tuck will not improve the skin around the belly button. You may want to consider a short scar tummy tuck, which will have the same length scar as the minitummy tuck but will remove about twice as much skin...
You might have a hernia around your belly button. For this, I would recommend seeing a general surgeon in your area to see if this can be corrected. Good luck!
