[Reverse abdominoplasty in the presence of bi-subcostal scar: Technical note].

Introduction: The presence of horizontal supraumbilical scars increases the risk of vascular complications after a large abdominoplasty. We present here a technique of abdominal dermolipectomy with umbilical transposition called « reverse », in the presence of a bi-subcostal scar.

Technical Note: The reverse abdominoplasty technique consists in uninserting the umbilicus, detaching the supra-umbilical and sub-umbilical soft tissues by assessing the existing bi-subcostal scar in order to pull the skin upwards, and to remove the supra-umbilical excess skin, before bringing the umbilicus back to its proper position.
