Abstract

A non-aesthetic post-abdominoplasty umbilicus is known to be a significant concern for many patients who consider this procedure, due to its central and visible location. The goal of this method is to minimize the visible scar and create a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing umbilicus. In thismultimedia article, we illustrate our technique that is bothreproducible and easy to perform. It produces a scarless caudal aspect, pleasant depth, and natural superior hooding appearance to the post-op umbilicus. Limitations of this technique are discussed.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
