Although I have stretched marked skin, the skin itself is quite thick and not thin like some I've seen is this fat, skin or both? My weight is 137 and my tummy just won't shift. On standing it's not the worst I've seen but bent over yuk! Will this thick skin stretch enough for a low scar?

Answer: I understand stretch marks can't be removed above the belly button with a TT but can an old piercing be cut away? Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs, you appear to be a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery. Working with your plastic surgeon, it is likely that you will be able to design an operation where the incision can be kept "low" and the piercing above the umbilicus can be removed. Ultimately, careful selection of plastic surgeon, careful communication of goals, and careful design/execution of the operation will be key. I hope this, and the attached link/video helps. Best wishes.

(Photo) In many cases it's possible to remove the scar from an old belly button piercing but it differs from person to person. Without actually examining you in person it's impossible to tell you whether that would be the case for you. The only way to know for sure is to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to be examined. Best of luck!
