Umbilicoplasty in Abdominoplasty: Impact of Different Surgical Approaches on Navel Aesthetics

Abstract

Umbilicoplasty is an essential component in abdominoplasty, as the appearance of the belly button significantly influences the patient's aesthetic satisfaction. This review explores how various tummy tuck techniques affect the appearance of the belly button in patients who have undergone tummy tucks. Techniques such as neoumbilicectomy and the three-suture method are examined, evaluating their aesthetic effects and complication rates. The findings note that the choice of procedure should be based on the individual specificities of the patient to achieve optimal results.
