Since then, umbilical transposition has been favored by most surgeons. Methods This report describes a new technique for umbilical reconstruction using a small X-shaped incision that creates four V-shaped flaps, which are sutured to the aponeurosis with absorbable sutures. This technique was used for 306 consecutive abdominoplasty patients, and a survey was performed to determine their level of satisfaction with the surgical outcome. Results A natural-appearing new umbilicus was created with no visible scars, a low complication rate (9 %), and a high level of patient satisfaction. Conclusions The described technique had a low complication rate and allowed the creation of a new umbilicus with a natural appearance in a rapid, safe, and simple manner.
