Abstract

Background: 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.

Methods: A computerized search in the PubMed database was performed to identify articles that discussed ideal umbilical size.

Results: 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.

Conclusions: Although the literature on the ideal umbilical size is sparse, the consensus is toward a smaller, vertically oriented umbilicus.

大小真的很重要吗？腹部整形手术中如何确定最佳脐带大小的综述。

背景介绍脐部在健康和美容原则方面具有重要的历史意义。脐部的视觉美感已成为腹部整形手术成功与否的重要标准。虽然文献中对脐的理想位置和形状进行了广泛研究，但对脐的最佳尺寸却知之甚少。在此，作者提供了一份全面的文献综述，以帮助确定理想的脐部大小：方法：在 PubMed 数据库中进行计算机检索，找出讨论理想脐带大小的文章：综述于 2022 年 7 月进行。最初共找到 21 篇文章，其中只有 6 篇讨论了脐带大小。此外，还对所收录文章的参考文献进行了相关性评估，最终又有 10 篇文章被纳入最终综述。大多数文章指出，较小的脐部在美学上是令人愉悦的，但没有具体说明数值范围：尽管有关理想脐带大小的文献很少，但人们一致认为脐带应较小且垂直。
