I was wondering if a scar like this could be turned into a belly button? (Photo)

Asked By:Polite931067

I was born with gastroschisis and I have two scars one bigger than the other. What surgery would I get for this if it could happen and how much could the cost be around? Would my insurance be able to pay for some of it?
