Abstract
Two different omphaloplasty procedures are presented. The first procedure, resulting in a four-point, star-shaped navel and indicated for patients with classic abdominoplasties, aims at preventing widening of the navel, as well as stenosis, later on, postoperatively. The second procedure, based on the rotation of the remaining navel and indicated for both patients with midi or mini abdominoplasties and patients with secondary omphaloplasty, also aims at preventing stenosis and widening of the umbilical scar; however, no external scars remain after this procedure.Keywords
