    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Abdominoplasty procedures can lead to undesirable changes in the navel, such as widening and stenosis.
    • Existing omphaloplasty techniques may not fully address these postoperative complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present two distinct omphaloplasty procedures designed to prevent navel widening and stenosis.
    • To offer solutions for patients undergoing classic, midi, or mini abdominoplasties, as well as secondary omphaloplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • Procedure 1: A four-point, star-shaped navel creation for classic abdominoplasties to prevent postoperative widening and stenosis.
    • Procedure 2: A scarless technique involving rotation of the remaining navel for midi/mini abdominoplasties and secondary omphaloplasty, preventing stenosis and widening.

    Main Results:

    • The first procedure successfully creates a star-shaped navel, mitigating long-term widening and stenosis.
    • The second procedure effectively prevents umbilical scar stenosis and widening, resulting in no external scars.

    Conclusions:

    • Two effective omphaloplasty techniques are described, addressing specific patient needs and abdominoplasty types.
    • These procedures offer improved aesthetic and functional outcomes for the umbilical region post-abdominoplasty.
