Terms & Conditions of Use

A new lipoabdominoplasty technique combines liposuction with abdominoplasty without flap undermining, improving body shape and reducing complications. This approach offers better aesthetic outcomes and fewer side effects than traditional methods.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

Traditional abdominoplasty offers excellent aesthetic results but carries a high complication rate.
Advances in abdominoplasty techniques have been made, yet complications remain a concern.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel technique combining lipoplasty with abdominoplasty.
To present a method that avoids undermining of the abdominal flap.

Main Methods:

Lipoplasty is performed from the upper abdomen to the flanks and lower abdomen.
Abdominoplasty involves resection of skin below the umbilicus while preserving a thin fatty layer with its vascular and lymphatic supply.
Additional lipoplasty is conducted as needed to address excess fat.

Main Results:

Published on: December 5, 2025

The lipoabdominoplasty technique enhances body contour and flap adaptation.
Improved abdominal aesthetics with reduced scarring and elimination of "dog ears" were observed.
No major complications were reported with this modified procedure.

Conclusions:

Lipoabdominoplasty without undermining improves aesthetic results compared to traditional abdominoplasty.
This technique leads to fewer complications in abdominal aesthetic surgery.
The described method offers a safer and more effective approach to abdominal contouring.
