Objective:
To explore the application of liposuction in scar repair.
Methods:
Liposuction using tumescent technique was performed at the scar region. While the local skin was relaxed and tension decreased, scar resection and wound closure followed. The indications and key points of this operation are discussed in the article.
Results:
This method has been used in 27 patients for scar repair since 2000. The biggest area of excised scar was 40 x 9.5 cm. The width of the excised scar reached 11 cm. All the patients got satisfactory results.
Conclusion:
The operation was simple and safe with little blood loss. After liposuction, a larger area of scar at a fatty region could be excised, and meanwhile, body sculpture was achieved.
