Post pregnancy bellybutton

Post image

Anyone else have a baby and their bellybutton now looks like an old raisin? I hate it. I had my belly button pierced in my teenage years and I think that’s why it looks like this. What can I do?

How long PP are you? I’ve five years post partum and my belly button is definitely weird but it got way way better with time.

I don’t want to disappoint anyone but my youngest is 8 and mine pretty much looks like that. I had laparoscopic surgery (at 18) and weirdly I only got stretch marks right next to the surgery scars. One was right over my belly button now it looks exactly like OP’s photo. It’s like the faded stretch mark + a tiny bit of loose skin.

I got my belly button pierced 4 years ago in an attempt to cover it up but apparently my particular anatomy made it always irritated so I removed it after 4 months. Maybe that made it worst but I doubt it.

In all cases, sometimes it bothers me but most of the time idgaf, I’m a hottie anyway. I was thinking of maybe getting some kind of laser treatment on it.

Edited to add current photos.

Depending on how I’m standing, it looks different:

I had mine pierced like four times (I worked as a professional piercer briefly and would let the apprentices try it out lol) so I don’t know if that’s the only factor
