The umbilicus is the most important aesthetic unit of the abdominal wall. An analysis of the aging process of the abdominal wall is studied in this article. The vertical orientation of the umbilicus appeared to be the most desirable shape in young and healthy women. The combination of vertical repositioning of the umbilicus and contouring of the central oval of abdominal flap techniques are discussed in this presentation.
