From my research I see that recommendations for this is a full tummy tuck, however I have had 3 consults with 3 diff. drs., just to me told they are drs., not magicians and while I have some excess skin above the belly button causing the frown, I don't have enough to cover a full tummy tuck. Please advise my other options and my frowning belly button makes me feel fat.

Answer: How to Correct a Frowning Belly Button?
If you do not have enough skin for a tummy tuck of any sort, an umbilicoplasty carefully designed can change the appearance of the belly button to look more circular. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tucks and umbilicoplasties each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: A full tummy tuck can make the belly button beautiful
If the other surgeons feel you do not have enough skin for a full tummy tuck you can always remove as much skin as possible and have a small vertical scar lower down the belly. This is a common way to do this procedure on women with not enough skin for a full tummy tuck excision and is quite popular in south america where women seek tummy tucks mostly to correct stretch marks and belly button issues. The key is to be able to create a beautiful belly button. I do this procedure often, so feel free to browse some photos of belly buttons that have been recreated with tummy tucks. Below is a link to a photo of a belly button similar to yours and the after tummy tuck photo.
