After having children my belly button (where my piercing was) is very stretched out. I asked a couple doctors what could be done about this and I was told I can only fix it with a tummy tuck but I really don't want tummy tuck scars.

I am on the east coast though (near Miami) but I'm willing to travel, Colorado is a bit too far though.
