Umbilicoplasty for Removing Excess Skin Above Belly Button?

Thank you for your question and sharing your photo.  You can choose to remove a small amount of skin from above the belly button and allow this to heal.  I would then recommend that you consider a device that builds collagen and elastin above the belly button.  This should allow for some additional tightening to occur.  You may continue to have some laxity, but you will see an improvement.

Dear Annie2009,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question and for providing a picture. I am sorry you haven't achieved the result that you desire. I would agree with your plastic surgeom that a full tummy tuck would have been the procedure of choice here. With the mini you say you have achieved the flatter tummy but there is the redundent skin above the belly button. Unfortunately, I would not consider a umbilicoplasty here. Although you could remove some skin and pull  the skin in soewhat, you will still be left with too much skin excess and so will still not achieve the result you desire. There is the possibility of the reverse tummy tuck to address the upper abdomen, but you are placing another scar in the upper portion of the abdomen. In my mind it would be better to consider going for the full tummy tuck possibly. The scar will be the same and it will address the issue that you have.I hope this i sof some helpBest wishes 

Belly Button surgery also called an umbilicoplasty, by itself only takes care of stretch marks and loose skin in the immediate area (few inches) of the belly button. It might be a good procedure for you but an exam would be required to confirm this impression. Choose the best plastic surgeon with the most experience (see below link).

The abdomen will often have significant changes following pregnancy. These include saggy, redundant skin, weakened muscles, and stretch marks. Treatment varies and needs to be individualized based on the deformity encountered. Careful analysis of the anatomic deformity is essential to obtaining an aesthetically attractive result.
In the absence of a thorough physical examination, your picture and comments suggest that you have a residual deformity, which primarily involves the area above the belly button.
Conversion of your mini abdominoplasty to a full abdominoplasty may be necessary to correct your problem. A small, vertical incision may be necessary if there is insufficient laxity of the upper abdominal skin to allow transverse closure of the wound. Utilizing this approach, it’s possible to correct these types of problems with secondary abdominoplasty.
