Can the scar tissue be removed from my belly button piercing?

September 3, 2018
Asked By:Lunax33 in Ohio, OH

I don’t really like the appearance of it anymore and I want to remove it but I don’t want the holes associated with the scar. A friend recently had a baby and got stretch marks from the piercing. I’m not planning to have kids in the near future but I don’t want a saggy piercing when the time comes. Is there any way to remove all scar tissue including the scarred tissue through the tunnel leaving two small scars at the top and bottom? Should I wait until after I have children?
