Am I a good candidate for belly button piercing revision? (Photo)

Question

After 2 pregnancies my old belly button piercing has stretched out causing my belly button to look weird. The rest of my belly doesn't bother me at all. I don't have any other stretch marks. I have some slight wrinkling above my belly button. I do not want a whole tummy tuck. Just above my belly button fixed. I don't mind if I still have some stretch marks. I'd just like the skin to look more normal. I am 31 years old, 5'0 and 112 lb. My last pregnancy was 15 months ago.

Dear chelsa1991,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

The wrinkled scar above your belly button is best managed by excision and closure. The scar revision will leave you with a thin line above the belly button. You need to have a board-certified plastic surgeon examine you to see if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
