Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Umbilical reconstruction addresses congenital or postsurgical umbilical loss.
  • Neoumbilicoplasty, or creating a new umbilicus, lacks a universally optimal technique.
  • Existing methods often involve complex, difficult-to-reproduce flap designs.

Observation:

  • The authors propose a simplified neoumbilicoplasty technique.
  • Patient classification is based on abdominal adipose layer thickness.
  • The procedure involves local anesthesia, defatting, and dermal application to fascia.

Findings:

  • This technique is adaptable to all patients with minor type-specific variations.
  • It yields consistently reproducible results with minimal complexity and morbidity.
  • The procedure results in no visible scar and high patient satisfaction.

Implications:

  • This simplified technique offers a straightforward approach to neoumbilicoplasty.
  • It provides excellent aesthetic outcomes with reduced surgical complexity.
  • The method allows patients to resume daily activities with minimal disruption.
