Abstract

The authors have presented a predetermined design of cutaneous resection for abdominoplasty without relocation of the umbilicus. The design is characterized by two lateral tips, pointing upward, and a central dome. The upper and lower edges of the cutaneous incision are of the same length, which prevents puckers and allows optimal evolution of the scar. The median cutaneous resection removes the horizontal base of the triangular area of pubic hair, producing a lower final scar and giving the mons pubis a more youthful appearance. The lateral cutaneous resections allow transverse redraping of the abdominal skin, and the oblique scars, placed in the natural folds, are easily concealed even under brief attire. Unlike individual resection techniques that require practice and experience, this technique is perfectly codified and can be carried out by less experienced surgeons.
