Innovative Modifications in Diamond Umbilicoplasty: Simplified Techniques for Improved Cosmetic Results

Abstract

Umbilicoplasty is one of the main steps in abdominoplasty procedures. Various techniques of umbilicoplasty are performed by surgeons from diverse backgrounds, all aiming for a naturally appearing umbilicus with minimal scarring. In this report, we present two umbilicoplasty methods practiced at our center. The key steps involved in both techniques include securing the umbilicus in its new position, creating a natural umbilical depth, and preventing visible scarring. These two methods are easily reproducible, time-effective, and consistently yield aesthetically pleasing results. We also discuss alternative umbilicoplasty methods performed in other facilities.
