Abstract: | The umbilicus is the only normal scar on the body and it is the most noticeable scar following abdominoplasty and TRAM or DIEP flap procedures. We describe a technique for resiting the umbilicus that attempts to recreate the anatomical structure by attaching the superficial fascia to the periumbilical skin to produce a fullness around the depression in which the umbilicus sits. This is aesthetically desirable and avoids the uncomfortable tethering of the umbilicus to the rectus sheath associated with other techniques. |
