[Partial subfascial abdominoplasty. Our technique apropos of 36 cases]

With the help of a liposuction performed behind the abdominal superficial fascia, followed by a dissection first located at the deep side of this fascia, then changing plane to the level of the umbilicus to reach the premuscle fascia plane, a new abdominoplasty is performed, that ensures safer vascularisation of skin and fat as well as better preservation of the lymphatic system. In our experience (March 1989, 36 cases), this technique avoids the most frequent risk of the abdominoplasty: seroma.
