Abstract:
TULUA is an effective non-undermined lipoabdominoplasty with a low transverse wide plication of the rectus fascia that allows aggressive liposuction. For an esthetic 360° torso reshaping, oblique flankplasty, also without undermining, is added to correct sagging flanks, raise the lateral buttocks and thighs, and transversely tighten the abdomen. The indications, limitations, technique, and postoperative care are presented.
