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).

Abdominoplasty (The Umbilical Lozenge
Technique)
Marcelode OliveiraeSilva
Abstract Obesity is a pandemic. The exponential increase in abdominal correction
surgeries after important weight losses resulting from bariatric surgeries is a logical
consequence. The umbilical scar reconstruction surgical time has a fundamental
importance, and a lozenge- shaped navel contributes to the abdominal aesthetics.
However, the literature shows that the neo-navel is something challenging in these
surgeries, compromising the results and, sometimes, generating dissatisfaction on
the surgeon’s and the patient’s perspective. Unaesthetic healing and stenosis due to
scar contracture are common complaints when circular techniques are used and can
be 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.

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 7cm 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 veried, 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 inAbdominoplasty
In this technique, the preoperative marking of the suprapubic horizontal scar is
made between 6 and 8cm 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 2g is administered, 30min 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 6cm 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 1.4cm, in
the craniocaudal direction, and 1.0cm, in the latero-lateral direction (Fig.13.2a, b).
The rst incision is made in the supercial 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 0.5cm (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 1.4×1.0cm is repeated, and the lozenge center
is dened 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

corresponding position in the ap. The four sides of the created lozenge-shaped
hole are xed with Gillies stitches, using 4-0 mononylon thread (Fig.13.9).
The ap is repositioned according to the previous marking, and the closure is
performed with sutures in layers, with absorbable thread 3.0in two subdermal layers and with non-absorbable thread 3.0in the intradermal layer. After closing the

Patients are discharged from hospital 48h after surgery. Incisional negative pressure therapy is withdrawn on the rst outpatient visit (4 to 6days 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,
