Current Trends Of Abdominoplasty

Zusatztext

Abdominoplasty is one of the most common esthetic surgical procedures. Patients request their doctors for abdominoplasty to eliminate abdominal wall laxity, excess skin, excess fat, striae, and diastasis of the rectus muscle. There are two major groups of patients who benefit from abdominoplasty: recently pregnant women and those achieving massive weight losses. The weight loss group has expanded significantly in the past 10 years because of the evolution of various weight loss operations such as laparoscopic banding and gastric stapling. We recommend use of the new technique of abdominoplasty, which includes lipoabdominoplasty and limited dissection superior to the umbilicus with preservation of scarps fascia. We encountered fewer complications with our new technique for lipoabdominoplasty compared with the traditional technique, and greater patient benefits.
