What is the Worst That Can Happen if I Pierce my Navel 6 Weeks After a Tummy Tuck? I was reading around the internet a bit and most of the information I found said that you should wait at least 6 months after a tummy tuck before the piercing of the navel? What is the worst that can happen if I was to pierce my navel 6 weeks after? And also, is there any dangers in piercing your navel with a hernia?
