Resumo
Introduction: Abdominoplasty has been among the most popular cosmetic procedures in plastic surgery in recent years. From the perspective of body image, making the new navel is a key part, and its absence, distortion, or poor healing compromises the surgical result. Several techniques have been described, but all with their limitations. The objective was to gather a summary of the surgical possibilities presented in the na Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (RBCP), in addition to reintroducing the technique in H. Method: A qualitative review of the literature published in the RBCP in the period from 2000 to 2021 was carried out. Articles were included that described a proposal for umbilicoplasty, referring to the number of patients, age, follow-up time, assessment of patient satisfaction, and complications, excluding publications without aesthetic purposes or patients after major weight loss. Results: 38 articles were found, 7 of which were excluded by analyzing the titles and abstracts. Two independent authors reviewed the other articles, excluding another 20. In the end, 11 articles were included in this review. Conclusion: Omphaloplasty in abdominoplasties can be performed in several ways, providing surgeons with various alternatives. The H technique is one of these tools which can be widely used and bring consistent results.
