I got smart lipo on my upper/lower abdomen, back and waist a little over a month now. I had my belly pierced before but I took it out 2 years ago and it closed back up. My surgeon did the incision right where the hole was for my belly button. Can I get my belly pierced again ? If I can then how long should I wait until I get it? Will it hurt even more cause of scar tissue ? Thank you.
