Surgical Correction of Low-positioned Umbilicus after Mini-abdominoplasty

The umbilicus detachment and reinsertion in umbilical float mini-abdominoplasty results in its lower position with or without shape distortion. This event creates a stigmatizing look, elongating the upper abdomen and creating variable grades of infra umbilical/pubis bulging. This lack of proportion causes an unpleasant, artificial look, and is very difficult to fix. The study aimed to describe a sequence of abdominoplasty and combined upper abdomen horizontal muscle plications to correct umbilicus malposition after a mini-abdominoplasty.
