My old belly button piercing is still showing after my tummy tuck. Is there any way to get rid of It?

I am 4 weeks post op with my tummy tuck. I am happy with my results except a concern I have though, is that while my old belly button is gone, the piercing hole is not. It is right above the scar, almost directly on the scar. Can it be cut off or get rid of it somehow?
