Abstract:
Not all patients who exercise regularly and follow a balanced diet will obtain a well-defined abdomen. Medium definition liposuction, together with the removal of abdominal skin, can recreate an adequate connection between the skin/subcutaneous components and the myo-aponeurotic layer, resulting in the perception of muscle definition.
Methods:
Over a period of 36 months, 351 patients underwent medium definition liposuction associated with abdominoplasty performed by a single surgeon (G.B.). All patients underwent an evaluation through digital photographs by two independent senior plastic surgeons, using an objective grading system for aesthetic outcomes proposed by Strasser, 12 months after the operation.
Results:
According to the Strasser Scale, 326 patients (93%) were considered to have good and excellent results. Twenty-two patients (6.2%) had moderate/mediocre results' and three patients (0.8%) had poor results. The overall complication rate was 4.8%.
Conclusion:
Medium definition liposuction associated with abdominoplasty has been shown to be effective, safe, and reproducible for most patients.
