I had my daughter aged 18 and am now 24. I had my naval pierced at 15 but as it never healed properly I had it removed and it left a nasty scar. During pregnancy the scar stretched and I've been left with a saggy and wrinkly belly button. I got it re pierced a few months ago to improve the appearance but I am still very insecure about it. What is my solution and how expensive is it likely to be?
