Various methods of umbilicoplasty have been proposed to create an aesthetically pleasing umbilicus. However, following conventional lipoabdominoplasty, some patients, particularly those with a thin layer of abdominal fat, may exhibit a shallow navel.
A modified umbilicoplasty with a three-step approach was performed between Jan 2019 and Mar 2023. The three-step procedure included multiple plications, umbilical stalk fixation, umbilical insertion and central gathering (MUC). Patients were followed up for at least 6 months. Umbilical depth and complications were recorded.
A total of 36 patients were performed with MUC umbilicoplasty, with a mean age of 36.1 years. Patients were satisfied with umbilical appearance. The average depth of the navel after MUC procedure was 1.8±0.3 cm. A patient developed a hypertrophic scar in the umbilicus, which was treated with an intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide. No other complications were observed.
The MUC approach to umbilicoplasty provides a deep umbilical depression with minimal scars. This three-step procedure is particularly beneficial for patients with a thin layer of abdominal fat.

为了创造一个美观的肚脐，已经提出了各种脐成形方法。然而，在常规的吸脂腹部整形术后，一些患者，特别是那些腹部脂肪层较薄的患者，可能会出现浅肚脐。
2019 年 1 月至 2023 年 3 月期间，采用三步法进行改良脐成形术。三步程序包括多次折叠、脐蒂固定、脐插入和中央聚集（MUC）。患者至少随访 6 个月。记录脐深度和并发症。
共对 36 例患者进行了 MUC 脐成形术，平均年龄为 36.1 岁。患者对脐部外观满意。MUC 手术后脐的平均深度为 1.8±0.3cm。1 例患者脐部出现增生性瘢痕，采用曲安奈德皮损内注射治疗。未观察到其他并发症。
MUC 脐成形术可使肚脐凹陷较深，瘢痕最小。对于腹部脂肪层较薄的患者，这种三步法特别有益。
