What can I do about upper abdominal fat? (Photo)

DGirl123
I had a full tummy tuck with lipo 2 years ago, but the surgeon didn't lipo above the belly button, and I have more skin and fat under the bra line than I should. Below the BB it is tight, above is not. The belly button didn't heal very well. I'm not sure if I can do anything about that now? Would a non-general anaesthetic lipo solve the fat problem for me above the BB? The surgeon told me at the time that it's dangerous to go above the belly button but it doesn't look good as a result...
