Why are some people's belly buttons higher than others when they get a tummy tuck?

Hello I am 36 years old and I am interested in getting a full tummy tuck with Liposuction. I am wondering why some people's bellybuttons are higher than others when they get a tummy tuck. They look very unnatural when they are too high. Also, can you ask the doctor to put your scar as low as possible?I would prefer mine to be where my C-section scar is
