The umbilicus has historical significance regarding health and beauty principles. The visually pleasing aesthetic of the umbilicus has become a vital standard for the perceived success of an abdominoplasty procedure. While the ideal position and shape of the umbilicus have been studied extensively in literature, less is known about the optimal size. Herein, the authors provide a comprehensive literature review to help determine the ideal umbilical size.
A computerized search in the PubMed database was performed to identify articles that discussed ideal umbilical size.
The review was performed in July 2022. A total of 21 articles were initially identified, only 6 of which discussed umbilical size. References from the included articles were also evaluated for relevance and resulted in 10 additional articles in the final review. Most of the articles indicated that a smaller umbilicus was found to be aesthetically pleasing, but a numerical range of values were not specified.
Although the literature on the ideal umbilical size is sparse, the consensus is toward a smaller, vertically oriented umbilicus.
肚脐在健康与美容理念方面具有历史意义。肚脐赏心悦目的美学效果已成为腹部整形手术成功与否的重要标准。尽管关于肚脐的理想位置和形状在文献中已有广泛研究，但对于最佳尺寸却知之甚少。在此，作者进行了全面的文献综述，以帮助确定理想的肚脐尺寸。
在PubMed数据库中进行计算机检索，以识别讨论理想肚脐尺寸的文章。
该综述于2022年7月进行。最初共识别出21篇文章，其中只有6篇讨论了肚脐尺寸。对纳入文章的参考文献也进行了相关性评估，最终综述中又增加了10篇文章。大多数文章表明，较小的肚脐在美学上更令人愉悦，但未指定具体的数值范围。
尽管关于理想肚脐尺寸的文献稀少，但共识是倾向于较小的、垂直方向的肚脐。
