  • Plastic Surgery
  • Body Contouring

Background:

  • Abdominoplasty is a common body contouring procedure.
  • Secondary abdominoplasty involves repeat excisional surgery.
  • Over 7% of abdominoplasties in the authors' practice were secondary cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the authors' experience with secondary abdominoplasty.
  • To identify key considerations for successful secondary abdominoplasty.
  • To evaluate outcomes in patients undergoing repeat abdominal contour surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 21 secondary abdominoplasty cases.
