Background:

3D abdominal lipodefinition is utilized for localized fat reduction and enhanced muscular definition.
Standardizing this technique is crucial for achieving natural-looking aesthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the standardization of 3D abdominal lipodefinition.
To incorporate patient fat percentage into the technique for natural results.

Main Methods:

Retrospective study of 285 patients undergoing 3D abdominal lipodefinition by a single surgeon.
Analysis included patient selection, preoperative markings, technique based on fat percentage, postoperative care, outcomes, and complications.

Main Results:

The average age of patients was 33 years.
Average fat volume extracted was 1600 mL over an average surgery time of 100 minutes.
A complication rate of 9.47% was observed, including seromas (5.26%) and hyperpigmentation (2.46%).

Conclusions:

Standardized 3D abdominal lipodefinition is a systematic approach.
Classification based on fat percentage and patient build yields natural, reproducible results.
The technique is associated with a low index of complications.
