I had a baby on January 3rd. He is my second baby and I didn't get any stretch marks, but my belly button piercing is a bit saggy after this one...it's not horrible, but I don't like it. I saw another woman ask about an umbilicalplasty, and all the answers were negative, but she had A LOT of excess skin, way more than I do. I wish I could go back and never get it pierced, but it looks silly with just the hole so I'll keep the ring in. Is there something I can do to fix this?
