    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Surgery
    • Body Contouring

    Background:

    • Traditional abdominoplasty combined with lipoplasty can lead to complications.
    • Seroma and skin necrosis are potential risks in combined procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate liposculpture with skin resection as an alternative surgical technique.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this combined approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A surgical technique involving fat aspiration and simultaneous skin resection.
    • Excess skin removal without undermining the superficial fat layer.

    Main Results:

    • Liposculpture with skin resection is a viable option for selected patients.
    • This method avoids complications associated with combined abdominoplasty and lipoplasty.

    Conclusions:

    • Liposculpture with skin resection provides a beneficial approach for patients requiring both fat removal and skin excision.
    • The technique minimizes risks such as seroma and skin necrosis.
