 A Method of Reconstructing a Natural-looking Umbilicus in Abdominoplasty - Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery - Dr. Hamid ...
For patients in whom the umbilicus has a long stalk, one choice for the surgeon may be to bring the umbilicus downward or upward and tack down on the linea alba to a new position.
If this creates a problem and the umbilicus has a tendency to be buried under the rectus muscles following approximation of the two rectus sheets at the midline, some of these sutures are loosened, reapplied, or lengthened so that while the umbilicus is firmly tacked down, its skin edges are accessible for further suturing.
(A) The skin of the umbilicus is being attached to the linea alba with nonabsorbable sutures.

As such, it may be preferable to remove the patient's own umbilicus and construct a "new" one in the appropriate midline location.
The skin is then sutured in a particular fashion to further create the new umbilicus (see Figures 14 and 15).
Some surgeons prefer to remove the patient's own umbilicus during a pedicled TRAM flap procedure.

The location of the umbilicus is determined to be at a level that corresponds to the disk between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae.' This is its location site in a healthy young patient.
