Abstract

Umbilicoplasty is a key component of any abdominoplasty as the umbilicus has been described as the central aesthetic subunit to the abdomen. Here, we describe our preferred technique for umbilicoplasty which involves a half-moon design with periumbilical defatting which in our hands produces consistent, aesthetically pleasing results.
