Asked By:vaughn1987 in London

Hey I'm a black male in my 20s. I had a very bad surgeon that performed an umbilicoplasty in 2007 that has left the area badly scared.I have had 1 consultation already and have been told that I don't have a lot of skin in the area to work with. I really would like to correct this or at least improve it.Happy to travel overseas for the right surgeon.Please advise
