    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Excessive supraumbilical and periumbilical skin can result from various factors including aging, weight fluctuations, and genetics.
    • This skin laxity may lead to aesthetic concerns and functional issues for patients.
    • Current surgical options may involve complex procedures or extensive recovery periods.

    Observation:

    • A novel, simplified surgical technique has been developed.
    • The technique focuses on the targeted removal of redundant skin in the supraumbilical and periumbilical regions.
    • Minimal invasiveness and ease of execution are key features of this method.

    Findings:

    • The presented technique effectively removes excessive supraumbilical and periumbilical skin.

  • The procedure is straightforward to perform, reducing operative time and complexity.
  • Preliminary results indicate satisfactory aesthetic outcomes and patient tolerance.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a simpler, potentially less invasive option for patients seeking correction of abdominal skin excess.
    • It may broaden the accessibility of surgical solutions for supraumbilical and periumbilical skin concerns.
    • Further studies are warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and compare efficacy with existing methods.
