Conclusion
Creating the new umbilical region during full lipoabdominoplasty is a mandatory procedure, and it is a constant challenge because it is located in the central area of the abdomen and always leaves scars around the umbilicus. By using my technique, good aesthetical results that avoid scar retraction and contracture can be achieved (Figs.12.5, 12.6, and 12.7) (Avelar 1976a, b, 1979, 1983). Such unfavorable post­operative stigmata were reported by Grazer and Goldwyn (1977). According to pre­vious evaluation, planning, and demarcation, the whole area of the cutaneous covering of the infraumbilical region is always resected. Cutaneous incisions into the umbilicus are made before skin resection (Fig.12.9) (Avelar 2000a, b, c, d, e, f,
g, 2001a, b, 2002a, b). When lower and upper lipoabdominoplasty is performed, the
umbilicus is not transplanted, because the skin resection is limited to the suprapubic area or on submammary folds. The surgical principles of my method are new ones in that the nal scar is not a circular one but rather are similar to those left after an atypical Z-plasty around the new umbilicus, creating a natural depression in the surface of the region in the center of the abdominal wall (Figs.12.7 and 12.8).

avoided using the lozenge technique. The most frequent complications related to omphaloplasty are post-necrosis effacement, stenosis due to circular retraction, enlargement of the circumference, lack of anatomical contours, and a rayed appear­ance due to the external suture marks.
To avoid a stigmatizing appearance, the neo-navel should have the most natural and pleasant shape possible. The correct shape and positioning of the neo-navel are crucial to a satisfactory result. Above these aspects, among the most relevant points to a good aesthetic standard result are the navel size and the non-visible scars. There are several omphaloplasty techniques described in the literature, but there is no consensus as to the best technique for its execution.
The systematization of this surgical stage avoids excessive manipulation of the umbilical pedicle and reduces the surgical time spent in this step, minimizing the risk of necrosis by ischemia and improving the neo-navel’s nal aesthetic appear­ance, resulting in a patient’s high satisfaction rate. The aim of this chapter is to describe omphaloplasty by the lozenge technique in abdominal dermolipectomy, demonstrating its technical details.

Prof. Ivo Pitanguy Abdominoplasty Surgical Technique
The classic technique described by Pitanguy simultaneously approaches the aesthetic and functional correction of the patient’s abdomen, always obeying the same princi­ples: the abdominal wall reinforcement, repair of eventration and herniations, exci­sion of adipose tissue excess, and correction of skin deformities (scars or stretch marks).
After preparation of the anesthetic team and placement of surgical drapes, the midline of the abdomen is marked with a wire xed to the xiphoid process and another 7cm above the vaginal sternal notch. The incision is drawn keeping it low and following the inguinal pleat, curving upward on the sides. With the two long wires, the symmetry of the marking is veried, which must extend to a point located on an imaginary vertical line that passes over the anterosuperior iliac spines.
The navel is demarcated with a circular incision.
The transverse incision is performed by deepening the subcutaneous plane in a beveled manner, creating a discreet fat pad in the pubis. The detachment proceeds above the muscular fascia, meticulously performing hemostasis. The detachment will continue until the umbilical scar, where a circumferential incision allows to isolate the navel, leaving it inserted in the abdominal wall. The detachment contin­ues superiorly until it reaches the xiphoid process, creating a tunnel to expose the sheaths of the rectus abdominis muscles. The lateral limits of the detachment are the costal margins (avoiding unnecessary lateral detachment).
The aponeurosis is reinforced from top to bottom, starting high enough to avoid prominence in the epigastrium. Two strong hooks are used to test the desired tension on the aponeurotic edges at the level of the navel. This anchorage must be performed checking the degree of diastasis, without excessive tension, with non- absorbable sutures and with inverted mattress stitches, that is, in X with the knot facing inward.
After diastasis correction, the anesthetist is asked to place the table slightly bent, elevating the patient’s upper body by approximately 15°.

The upper ap is xed to the suprapubic skin at the midline with a strong tempo­rary suture. The lateral aps are then pulled inferiorly. Pitanguy marking tweezers are used to determine the amount of tissue to be excised. The long sutures of the xiphoid process and above the vaginal notch serve to verify the symmetry of the marking and its position on the ap. With a rm countertraction of the auxiliary, the ap is excised, beveling the subcutaneous tissue in order to better accommodate the initial transverse incision.
The aps are distributed with temporary sutures, compensating medially so as not to create “ears” (or “wrinkles”) and decrease the nal extension in the scar. The Pitanguy tweezer is again used to determine the position of the umbilicus in the midline.
The navel must be exteriorized through the appropriate circumferential incision. A straight incision of about 1–1.5 cm is made, since in the ap traction, it will become circular. A fat cone should be removed from the ap of this incision, allow­ing a better accommodation of the umbilical scar, thus creating a gentle peri­umbilical depression.
The nal closure of the incisions is performed by planes. It is of paramount importance to redo the plan of Scarpa’s aponeurosis, ensuring a rm plan of approx­imation. Drains are routinely exteriorized on the pubic region.
A compressive curative is applied using a plaster shield wrapped with cotton and bandage, allowing a rm and well-distributed compression. Umbilical curative must be done with gauze and spherical objects (e.g., marbles) to avoid stenosis.
The abdominal strap is placed the next day, and the patient is recommended to maintain a more curved posture, thus protecting the anchorage of the rectus abdomi­nis muscles.

The Omphaloplasty Lozenge Technique inAbdominoplasty
In this technique, the preoperative marking of the suprapubic horizontal scar is made between 6 and 8cm from the vaginal notch, during a superior traction maneu­ver of the prepubic region (Fig. 13.1). The marking is performed in bed, with the patient in an orthostatic position, and checked with the patient in the supine posi­tion, already in the operating room.
As prophylactic measures, cefazolin 2g is administered, 30min before the start of surgery, as directed by the hospital’s infection control commission, and the pneumatic compression system is placed on the lower limbs over the previously worn compres­sion stockings. The stockings are kept until the seventh postoperative day (Fig.13.1).
Midline marking is performed with the patient in the supine position, connecting the xiphoid process to the vaginal notch. A uniform traction of the prepubic region into cranial direction, with the open hand in the region of the lower abdomen, gives the distance from the previously marked vaginal notch. At this point, starting from the midline, a horizontal marking of 6cm is made on each side, with the aid of a compass. The horizontal and bilateral marking extends in an arcuate fashion, with the superior concavity toward the lower transverse fold of the abdomen, with the lateral limits of the

anterosuperior iliac crests. Such marking can be extended later after compensation of the skin-fat ap, if necessary. The lozenge-shaped marking for the incision and release of the navel is made with the assistant surgeon distributing the skin in this region in an eccentric manner with both hands opened. The lozenge measurements are 1.4cm, in the craniocaudal direction, and 1.0cm, in the latero-lateral direction (Fig.13.2a, b).
The rst incision is made in the supercial lozenge-shaped marking in the peri­umbilical region, with a cold scalpel with blade no. 15. Then, in order to deepen the incision, in the same place, we used the no. 11 blade, and to nish the dissection and isolation of the umbilical shape, up to the aponeurotic plane, we used Metzenbaum

scissors. Then, a horizontal suprapubic incision is made, and the skin-fat ap is detached, in a tunnel, up to the xiphoid process, allowing the plication of the rectus abdominis muscles. During this surgical stage, eventual ventral and umbilical her­nias are corrected, without violating the umbilical stump skin.
The umbilical stump is xed to the aponeurosis with four cardinal points, with 3-0 mononylon thread, preserving a distance between the skin and the aponeurosis of 0.5cm (Fig.13.3).
After resection of the excess skin-fat tissue from the detached ap, it is pulled and anchored, with temporary sutures, to the suprapubic ap, with 2-0 or 3-0 mono­nylon. Under the xed ap, we digitally located the position of the umbilicus in the aponeurosis and marked the center of the location of the neo-navel, using the digital projection under the ap (Fig.13.4).
The lozenge-shaped marking of 1.4×1.0cm is repeated, and the lozenge center is dened by the previous digital maneuver (Fig.13.5a, b).
A new incision, perpendicular into its full thickness, is made in the new lozenge­shape marked on the ap, to expose the umbilical stump xed to the aponeurosis (Fig.13.6).
Next, we mark the positioning of the upper ap in relation to the lower one, with a dermographic pen, and the temporary suture was removed, allowing the ap ever­sion. With this maneuver, we performed a lipectomy in the region of the lozenge, using Metzenbaum scissors, which contributes to reducing the tension in the umbili­cal scar, besides forming a depression in the peri-umbilical region, simulating the umbilical groove and, consequently, giving appearance of naturalness to the abdo­men (Fig.13.7).

Before the ap repositioning, we marked the upper and lower ends of the umbili­cal scar with two 4-0 mononylon threads. The two ends of the wires, with entry in the epidermis and exit in the subdermis of each end, are repaired with Halstead tweezers, at the lower end (straight), and curved, at the upper end (curve). Both are passed through the lozenge-shaped hole made to expose the umbilicus (Fig.13.8a, b).
The wires repaired in the umbilical scar serve as a reference for the navel’s posi­tion, avoiding twisting and facilitating the xation of the umbilical stump in its

The ap is repositioned according to the previous marking, and the closure is performed with sutures in layers, with absorbable thread 3.0in two subdermal lay­ers and with non-absorbable thread 3.0in the intradermal layer. After closing the

Patients are discharged from hospital 48h after surgery. Incisional negative pres­sure therapy is withdrawn on the rst outpatient visit (4 to 6days after surgery). All patients are instructed in the same way regarding postoperative care and return to activities (Figs.13.12, 13.13, 13.14, 13.15, 13.16, 13.17, 13.18, 13.19, 13.20, 13.21,
