How much would it cost without insurance to have a belly piercing hole removed? (Photo)

Tmmn2Oct 24, 2015
I have both the top and bottom pierced but the bottom has a dark hole and looks very ugly. I would rather have a small scar from it being closed then look at the hole.

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately its not likely to close however it is an easy operation to rectify under a local anaesthetic and does tend to heal very well.  All The Best

Losing a belly button following a tummy tuck is very rare but can happen. We can create a new belly button from the surrounding skin.

Your current appearance is your final one unless you have the opening and tunnel excised.  Then all you will have is a tiny scar but it will look a lot better.
