Umbilicus is a key feature in the aesthetics of the abdominal wall that should be preserved in operations commonly performed to manage problems arising in this region. The aesthetically-pleasing umbilicus tends to be small and vertically-oriented in nature, with superior hooding and shadow, inferior retraction and slope, and positioning at the topmost level of the iliac crest. In this work we are trying to optimize an ideal technique either for umbilical repositioning or for umbilicoplasty. We choosed the O.Ramirez(V-umbilicoplasty) for umbilical repositioning, and the Key-hole technique for neo-umbilicoplasty. Both featured techniques aimed to restore the umbilicus to an aesthetic and youthful appearance with minimal scarring
