Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

I understand stretch marks can't be removed above the belly button with a TT but can an old piercing be cut away? (Photo)

Ellbells
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?
