Would an Umbilicoplasty Be Appropriate to Repair a Damaged Belly Button from Rejecting a Peircing? (photo)

January 9, 2013
Asked By:skypie02

I am 25 and my belly button rejected peircing at age 16. I am super self conscious about it and would like to know what my options would be to fix this. I have lost 45 pounds as well had 2 children and would like to lose about 15 more pounds. What would the cost estimate be to fix something like this? And recovery time? Thank you in advance!
