Abstract:
Abdominoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures used to improve the appearance and contour of the abdominal region. Despite advances in surgical techniques, achieving optimal aesthetic results with minimal scarring remains a challenge. In this study, we describe a feasible approach to incision marking in abdominoplasty using a three-dimensional-printed incision marking tool. This technique with open source nature has the potential to revolutionize the field of plastic surgery and enhance patient satisfaction. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings and explore the potential applications of three-dimensional printing technology in other aesthetic procedures.
