Fixing a piercing scar on the belly button that does not close and has left a bad scar on the navel
Most piercing holes are epithelialized and can be removed with a small surgical procedure that I perform under local anesthesia. The procedure is relatively quick and easy.

Piercing hole upper lip
Thank you for the question. In general, the hole can be excised and closed. This however, will convert a piercing hole to a scar. The procedure can be done in the office under local anesthesia. Best wishes.

Piercing Hole Remains After Removing 1 Year Ago?
Holes left after lip piercing can be repaired. This typically involves removing the tract of skin that has healed into the piercing and carefully closing that small wound. The cost would likely range from $500-1000 in the US. I hope this information is helpful.
