Lipoabdominoplasty with selective and safe undermining.
Our objective is to present a new surgical concept for the aesthetic treatment of the abdominal region using the principles of liposuction associated with the traditional abdominoplasty. Lipoabdominoplasty is different from other techniques because it has the advantages of conserving perforator vessels of the abdominal wall, it preserves suprapubic sensibility, results in better abdominal contouring, has a low rate of complications, and a faster recuperation after surgery. The traditional abdominoplasty has been used for many years with several modifications intending to achieve better aesthetic contouring and to reduce complications. However, each modification solves problems only partially. The authors perform the surgery beginning with wet lipoplasty in superficial and deep fat layers. The skin below the umbilical scar is excised as in classical abdominoplasty. After that, selective and safe undermining of the dermocutaneous flap is done in the middle section of the upper abdomen between the borders of the rectus abdominis muscle, preserving mainly supply vessels of the abdominal wall.
