Abstract
The authors present a simple technique for restoration of the umbilicus in abdominal dermolipectomy. This procedure is represented by a double-Y cutan eous incision an the abdominal skin and by a double-M cutaneous incision on the umbilical skin. This technique restores a neoumbilicus with multiple s mall skin flaps and conceals the periumbirical scar at the bottom of the um bilicus. Different designs and figures are proposed to explain the procedur e.
