Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

Abdominoplasty is a common plastic surgery procedure, with increasing popularity due to weight loss trends.
Despite technical advancements, abdominoplasty carries high risks of morbidity and mortality in aesthetic plastic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To review abdominoplasty complications and best practices.
To provide recommendations for addressing prevalent safety issues in abdominoplasty surgery.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive review of existing literature on abdominoplasty complications.
Analysis of best practices to enhance surgical safety and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

Risk stratification, careful patient selection, and evidence-based techniques are crucial for mitigating complications.
Implementing non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions can reduce venous thromboembolism risk.

Conclusions:

Appropriate patient selection, surgical technique, and adherence to protocols help control modifiable risk factors.
Optimizing flap perfusion by respecting vascular territories is essential for wound healing and successful outcomes.
