I got my navel pierced around 1.5 years ago. A piercer told me today that he thinks it is a surface piercing and that I will need to remove and repierce it.

I’m bummed because I have grown so attached to it, so I definitely plan to repierce. He mentioned that a floating navel might be better for my anatomy, can anyone verify this?/explain why? I thought my belly button only collapsed when I slouch, but I trust his opinion more than mine.

Also, when I repierce, is it possible to go through the same entry point but angle it deeper so the jewelry sits behind the lip? I would prefer not to have a mark where my previous piercing was.

Any advice would be super appreciated. Thank you so much!!
