How do I get rid of ugly belly button piercing scar?

Bellybutton12134
I had my belly button pierced years ago and the hole never closed. Shortly after taking out the piercing, I got pregnant and the scar stretched through pregnancy. I hate the appearance of the holes left behind. Is it possible to just stitch the hole back together (top one is worse) or do you have to cut out the scar tissue? I've heard it can be done under local...I don't care what it costs but I need a doctor in Seattle who has done this before!
