Remaining scar/skin tissue from my Bellybutton piercing

[migi]

Hello,

I´m very desperated about my belly button at the moment. I used to have a belly button piercing for a long time. Unfortunately, the piercing hole wandered more and more to the top and the skin got very thin (see picture). I´m pregnant right now and took off the piercing in order to avoid any problems. Besides that the piercing was only hanging on a thin skin flap at the end.

The holes have grown closed but it looks now very terrible. I was wondering if the Dermaroller could help in my case and if which one I should use?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Unfortunately, the holes from the piercing spread out so much that there is some kind of "bridge" of skin above your normal skin.  The "bridge" has to be surgically removed (a dermaroller cannot remove it).

 The skin under the "bridge" seems to have an atrophied scar. You can use a 1.5 mm dermastamp on it. The dermastamp will also improve the scars left from the removal of that excessive skin.

   You can try the dermastamp on it without the surgical removal of the excessive skin but I really do not think it will help because it is not really a hypertrophic scar; your body formed there a whole new "skin construction".

So surgical removal is the way to go, and then treat that scar with dermaneedling techniques.
